[Verse 1]
I run on backs of horses
All through the night waiting for the light
The trees are stripped to skin
Their branches planned like a dead man's hand
Roses on her virgin eyes
Her lips are shut
The string is cut
I saw myself hanging from the ceiling
Then I was 17
[Chorus] x2
Don't watch the people you love grow old
Just watch the people you hate grow cold
[Verse 2]
I got away from her all night and day
But to no avail, to no avail she
Never came to me again
Not ever again, not ever again
Away from her all night and day
But to no avail, to no avail she
Never came to me again
I can't still walk on solid ground
[Verse 1] Repeat
I run on backs of horses
All through the night waiting for the light
The trees are stripped to skin
Their branches planned like a dead man's hand
Roses on her virgin eyes
Her lips are shut
The string is cut
I saw myself hanging from the ceiling
Then I was 17
[Chorus] x2
Don't watch the people you love grow old
Just watch the people you hate grow cold
[Verse 2] Repeat
I got away from her all night and day
But to no avail, to no avail she
Never came to me again
Not ever again, not ever again
Away from her all night and day
But to no avail, to no avail she
Never came to me again
I can't still walk on solid ground
