A soft knock on the door is the starting line
The gun fires off and someone counts the time
But it's hard to run when you're dead on the floor
If we coulda just danced a little bit more

Bullets shoot into the sky
Blazing trails all left behind
Falling down, down, down
To the finish line

The sky is streaked with purple red
And you swore that it would never end
So we sat and watched with the world and we came undone
There's an old pale shine from the clouds tonight
Broken up by the winter's wind
So we and sat and watched with the world as you chased the sun

Someday I'll be older see
Then my hands won't fail me
I'll forget to watch the crowd
Then you'll slow down

The sky is streaked with purple red
And you swore that it would never end
So we sat and watched with the world and we came undone
There's an old pale shine from the clouds tonight
Broken up by the winter's wind
So we and sat and watched with the world as you chased the sun

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna leave
If I have to go
I won't get to be
I don't wanna go home
It’s so nice being able to breathe
There’s a world outside and home isn’t home anyway

The sky is streaked with purple red
And you swore that it would never end
So we sat and watched with the world and we came undone
There's an old pale shine from the clouds tonight
Broken up by the winter's wind
So we and sat and watched with the world as you chased the sun

I don't wanna go home
And I don't want you to leave
Sit with me and watch with the world
Show me how to chase the sun
