Run Forever Lyrics by Dave Thomas Junior

Embers

2012

[Verse 1]
Open up the skylight, baby
Let the truth come rushing in
Don’t you let your heart go anywhere
Just think what might have been
Now that all the waiting’s over
Don’t know what I wouldn’t give
To hide among the bygone shadows
Where I end and you begin

[Chorus]
Because oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, there’s never been a better time
To be alive

[Verse 2]
You know that when tomorrow comes
We can throw it all away
Until we cross the line
Where nothing’s ever gonna be the same
'Cause we can live a million years
And the light will never fade
And I won’t ever let you down
Just call my name

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we got colors, we got love
And we got too much of not enough
And we got washed up on the shore
We got everything to answer for

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, there’s never been a better time
To be alive

[Bridge]
I think I see the sun rise
Guessing all my wishes went astray
Tell me what the truth is, baby
Is it time to leave this place?
'Cause I will run forever with you
I will run forever with you
I will run forever with you
I will run forever with you

[Chorus]
Does it make it better? (Oh, oh)
Does it make it worse? (Oh, oh)
Are we so lucky? (Oh, oh)
Are we so cursed? (Oh, oh)
With tomorrow coming (Oh, oh)
Can our hearts survive? (Oh, oh)
'Cause there’s never been a better time
To be alive
