VERSE 1

Same old dusty roads 

I’m looking at the same sad looking homes

Same void atmosphere

And I’m wondering how did we end up here

 

PRE CHORUS

Oh I keep runnin’ runnin’ runnin’

But I can’t get away, I can’t get away 

Oh I keep runnin’ runnin’ runnin’

But I can’t get away, no I can’t get away 

 

CHORUS

Oh I can’t believe it we are here back again

I thought this was over, said and done, amen

Tell me what will be different this time around

I wish we could burn the whole city down

 

Oo-oh

Burn it down, burn it down

 

POST CHORUS 1

Burn this city down, burn this city down

Burn this city down down down

Burn this city down, burn it to the ground

Just burn it down down down

 

VERSE 2

Same dark city wall 

Still makes me feel banned, far from it all

Old memories are creeping up on me

Kind of cruel don’t you agree, don’t you agree

 

PRE CHORUS

Oh I keep runnin’ runnin’ runnin’

But I can’t get away, I can’t get away 

Oh I keep runnin’ runnin’ runnin’

But I can’t get away, no I can’t get away 

 

CHORUS

Oh I can’t believe it we are here back again

I thought this was over, said and done, amen

Tell me what will be different this time around

I wish we could burn the whole city down

 

POST CHORUS 2

Oh God, help me to believe

You’re aware of my grief

You see me praying on my knees

 

Mend my broken soul

Give me hope till dawn

I will keep my eyes on you alone

 

ENDING

And I will hold on

Oh, I will hold on
