Getaway Car Lyrics by Mackenzie Shrieve

Running in My Bed

2019

[Verse]
There are these feelings I hold on to
And I can’t focus on anything but that
There are these moments I just push through
I can’t seem to focus on anything but that

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I let you in
To one day convince myself that it wasn’t anything
Cause I got scared, when we got hard
Packed up the rations in my getaway car

[Chorus]
Can I do better?
When I’m on the run?
I’m chasing my day time
By leaving your sun
I thought I’d do better
When on the run

[Verse]
I know I wasn’t present, for our love
I promise you, I’ll redefine, us in summer months
Some might call it masochistic, you called it dumb
I threw it out. I pushed you down. The second I turned numb

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you let me in
To one day convince myself that wasn’t anything
I’m still scared and it’s still hard
But I took a match and blew up my getaway car

[Chorus]
Can I do better?
When I’m on the run?
I’m chasing my day time
By leaving your sun
I thought I’d do better
When on the run

[Outro]
I can’t do better
While I’m on the run
I miss our day time
Heat of your sun

When I met you
My world went boom
With sober highs and shower eyes
Blood orange smoky moons

We were born right there on dancer floors
Electric piano chords
A kiss on the forehead
I want it forever

I’m here doing better
When you call me out I’ll listen
No more defensive

There are these feelings I hold on to
