The Hot Lies - Running Low lyrics

Oh, beating heart, don't give up on me now My thirsty veins are crying out I'm sick of the shake, I'm sick of the taste I'm sick of the cold kiss of pavement I need you for the engine in this operation Like I need my lungs in this charade What a beautiful scene we make Don't let it go to waste There must be something in the water We've been a ticking clock all summer The hours, they go so slow When I'm running low, running low on you Running low on you Oh, paper ships, give me safe pa**age home Under the burning bridges glow So stay where you are, don't come in too close The things that I touch turn to ghosts Where would you be? You have to answer anyway, out on your own Or that haunted place you stay Disaster is like a wake, it follows you set to break There must be something in the water We've been a ticking clock all summer Counting the seconds down, the hours they go so slow When I'm running low, running low on you There must be something in the water We've been a ticking clock all summer Counting the seconds down, the eleventh hour Running low on you, running low on you Shout over the steeples in this church town Promise to keep me if I get out, promise to keep me Because I'd throw the fight if you would catch me Shout over the steeples in this church town Promise to keep me if I get out, promise to keep me Because I'd throw the fight if you would catch me If you would catch me, if you would catch me There must be something in the water We've been a ticking clock all summer The hours they go so slow When I'm running low, running low on you There must be something in the water We've been a ticking clock all summer Counting the seconds down The eleventh hour, running low on you Running low on you Running low on you Running low on you Running low on you Running low on you
