Time Is Running Out
Kat Leon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're gonna hunt you, got a taste for blood
You can hide your head in the sand
They're gonna find you when you're slippin' up
Run while you can
Fast as you can
They will find you in the end
Your time is running out, out, out
It's running out, out, out
You thought you could run from hell
Where you gonna run to now?
Oh, your time is running out
Can you hear the call of the sirens?
Unlike you've heard before
You never thought they'd come
Better be ready 'cause they bring a war
Run while you can
Fast as you can
They will find you in the end
Your time is running out, out, out
It's running out, out, out
You thought you could run from hell
Where you gonna run to now?
Oh, your time is running out
You're gonna get what you deserve
You're watching the clock tick forward
You're crossing the bridge, now watch it burn
Your time is running out
Your time is running out
Your time is running out
