Hold the City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was still dreamin' when I woke up beside her Then she made coffee for the both of us She was still dreamin' when I woke up beside her Then she made coffee for the both of us [Refrain] And then I go again at night Creeping through her doors, and her tears Meet the coffee once more And then I go again at night Creeping through her doors, and her tears Meet the coffee once more [Pre-Chorus] And in my sight I see the back of the old picture She's surfing on the keys of love Just for a hand To hold her when the morning comes So she can hold the city before it runs [Chorus] Runs, ru-uh-uns, ru-uh-uns Before it runs Runs, ru-uh-uns, ru-uh-uns Before it runs [Verse 2] When the sun falls and her lovers come over It's like a needle sticking in her heart And every taste she gave painted a picture That she don't wanna have a memory of [Refrain] And then I go again at night Creeping through her doors, and her tears Meet the coffee once more And then I go again at night Creeping through her doors, and her tears Meet the coffee once more [Pre-Chorus] And in my sight I see the back of the old picture She's surfing on the keys of love Just for a hand To hold her when the morning comes So she can hold the city before it runs [Chorus] Runs, ru-uh-uns, ru-uh-uns Before it runs (Before it runs) Runs (Uh), ru-uh-uns (Before it runs, before it runs), ru-uh-uns (Before it runs, yeah) Before it runs (Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run) Before it runs [Bridge] She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone (Before it runs) [Chorus] Runs, ru-uh-uns (Before it runs, ah), ru-uh-uns (Baby) Before it runs (Yeah, before it runs) Runs, ru-uh-uns (Before it runs), ru-uh-uns (Yeah) [Outro] I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone (Before it runs) She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone She wanna hold me to the early mornin' I wanna stay, but I gotta be gone, you know I gotta be gone
