Verse 1
Louder than thunder, sharp in your stride
Never met you, but I sense that side
Crossed on the street, wild-eyed, alive,
Lips pressed tight as the moments fly
Pre-Chorus
All I caught
Was a glance, then you’re gone
Pulse twists, turning on
Every word half withdrawn
Chorus
It’s a hardknock life, for us
Turn the volume up and rush
Breathing fire, born to run
Can’t outrun what’s already done
(Oh oh ah—)
Verse 2
Slipped through the stations you haunt at night
Rainfall rhythm, flashing signs
You laugh at the breaks, you push through the fights
Underneath static, there’s something right
Pre-Chorus
Every face
Says they know your game
Tracks you leave, never the same
Chasing change, never tame
Chorus
It’s a hardknock life, for us
Turn the volume up and rush
Breathing fire, born to run
Can’t outrun what’s already done
(Oh oh ah—)
Bridge
Tell me: what are you after?
Are you searching for faster?
Spinning out in the after, oh
Chorus
It’s a hardknock life, for us
(Tell me: are you running?)
Turn the volume up and rush
Are you breathing fire? Born to run
Can’t outrun what’s already done
(Oh—oh ahhh)
Solo
Vocalizations: ah oh oh, ah ah
Chorus
It’s a hardknock life, for us
Turn the volume up and rush
Breathing fire, born to run
Can’t outrun what’s already done
(Oh—oh ahhh—)
