Lyrics Paper Route

Paper Route

You and I

I waited for you

I’m a photograph on your floor

That you found in your bedroom

Now you wish you could ignore

All my desperate words fall

I am the sound of a dead language I know

I waited for you

I’m everything you were before

I’m shooting arrows and I wear your pin

But there’s nothing left here to believe in

So run for your life now

Maybe you won’t you wanna stay here

And live underground

We gotta get out

While the going is good

We gotta turn out the lights

We gotta run for the words

You and I

We live awake at night

I’ve waited for this

I’m the letter you never sent

I’m just a shot at forgiveness

All the words now taken back

In every way I need you

Pull me through every memory you thread

I’ve waited for this

It’s ever wound I won’t forget

You made your move and now it’s mine again

Can I give you something to believe in?

So run for your life now

Maybe you won’t you wanna stay here

And live underground

We gotta get out

While the going is good

We gotta turn out the lights

We gotta run for the words

You and I

We live awake at night

Run away run away but don’t go

Till you’ve heard every word I’ve said

Run away run away but just know

I will be two steps ahead

You and I
