[Verse 1]
Well I've listened to excuses and I've watched 'em walk away
It's only after holding me they say they cannot stay
I've spent many an hour writin' letters never read
I've stared away the ceilings of a thousand lonesome beds
[Chorus]
Lovers on the run
Are you not the lonely ones when the road has lost its thrill?
Lovers on the run
When all is said and done, will your beds be empty still?
I know they will
I know they will
[Verse 2]
Well I've hung my head in silence and I've turned my eyes away
I've dug my claws in deeper when I knew I shouldn't stay
I've looked into another's eyes when all the world was still
And just as I began to fall, they went in for the kill
[Chorus]
Lovers on the run
Are you not the lonely ones when the road has lost its thrill?
Lovers on the run
When all is said and done, will your beds be empty still?
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
You think if you're moving then the world is moving too
But there's a million other eyes who shine the same as you
And one day your collection of the things that might have been
Will fall behind the light into the lonely dark and dim
[Chorus]
Lovers on the run
Are you not the lonely ones when the road has lost its thrill?
Lovers on the run
When all is said and done, will your beds be empty still?
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
I know they will
