Running
Binary Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Running up that road and you're caught in the city lights
Guided by the sin of a night that's way too bright

Welcome to the coil that you know you can't escape
In the skin of a city that you know you just can't shape
So grab a life like it's slipping from your fingers
And turn towards her lips where the taste of sin still lingers
Driving cars so fast that the neon streets ignite
When you feel your heartbeat, you know you gotta have something right





Hoping you survive in the face of a dangerous fame
But your still alive and the world still knows your name
