If I could wake my crooked heart
If I was there right from the start
To feel what it was like to be turned on


If you could fly the battling wind
To miss the mark correct within

If your wish came true, your dreams made real

Running for cover

Running to hide

If I could be the walls of man

To rest my head and trust the plan
And fighting like a child to get my way


If I could see the garden place
Before the fall, would things have changed?
I wasn't there, and neither were you

But I take the blame, as you should too, my friend.

Now we're running for cover

Running to hide
Yeah, we're running for cover
Running to hide


We've been trying with each other to unravelly age your own story
But I'm starting to think that there's a reason we don't understand

And it's easy to blame someone else for my wants and my worries
But I know, I accept that it's just a part of who I am


Now we're running for cover
Running to hide
And you say it's not my problem

Out of sight, out of mind

Yes, we're running for cover

Yeah, we're running afraid
As we run with one another
Of the mess that we've made
