I took all the time it takes
On an ever extended break
Just to find that I'm half-awake
When I'm alone
Cause we walked when we should've ran
Tripped and fell when we tried to stand
Shook it off and got in the van
And hit the road
Cash and ego aside, just try and try to stay bonafide
So run sucker run
Keep your head on straight
Stay gone for however long it takes
Just point and aim for the sound it makes
Hummin in the gun
So run, sucker, run away
And off all of the things I feared
I would miss as the ending neared
To my trapeze artist career, I didn't know
That the years spent above the lights
Made me grow so afraid of heights
That it keeps me awake at night and leads me home
Counting backwards from the balcony
The drifters sleep alone tonight, despite an honest try
I tried to keep it for the life of me
But now it's gone, now it's gone
