about

We recorded and produced this song in my (Jo's) bedroom studio in Kansas, pulling influences from Lorde's Melodrama and Taylor Swift's 1989. This song is an opportunity to disappear into the romanticization of youth and to run away from the real world.

lyrics

Lyrics:

we check into hotels
just to see if I can pay
put it on my tab, dear
cry about it another day

debt's overflowing
and the bank is calling me
I think that’s my cue now
I think I should leave, cause

[Chorus]
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
while I’m still young
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
cut out my tongue
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I hear your gun
It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes

I’m sleeping sideways
I take sleep for the pain
wake up at midnight
and do it all again.

and I can’t separate
fiction from reality,
it all looks like the
same sort of tragedy
take my money
and I’ll take yours
but know that mine can’t
be used in stores cause

[Chorus]

streetlights
your eyes
dance to
waste time
why did I leave you at all?
best friend
pretend
I’m in
your bed
why did I leave you at all?
