The Variance - Let's Run Lyrics
(Verse 1)I've been building towersAnd sandcastles on the beach.And you're telling me nowThat they're not the sameBut they sure act the same to me.'Cause in a matter of timeThey'll both have the same fatal flawWhether rock or some sand;Whether hours or yearsThey're both bound someday to fall.But the same could be saidAbout you and meBecause we both knowWe have to leave this town eventually.And as the time draws nearI can't help but write your name in the sand'Cause if home is where the heart is,Then home is where I am.(Pre-Chorus)So if all that was trueI'm sure that you'll ask"Just what the hell'sKeeping you here?"Then I'll turn to you slowPlant a kiss on your lipsAnd whisper:"That'd be you dear."(Chorus)You're the only reason that IHaven't left this placeI could jump these castle walls ever sinceMy 16 year old days.You're the anchor that keeps me here,But never holds me down.And if you wouldn't mind packingA little bit quicker,I'd like to get out of this cityBefore it drowns(Verse 2)And with every minuteWe get a bit further awayFar from worry or rules and so far from our fearsThat we both don't know what to say'Cause I was speechless when I saw youAnd I'm speechless here todayAnd I guess when we're tired of this placeYou'll turn to me and say(Pre-Chorus)"So hun I've been thinkingA lot about this;Just what the hell'sKeeping you here?"Then I'll turn to you slowGive you a smileAnd whisper:"Pack your bags, dear."(Chorus)You're the only reason that IHaven't left this placeI could jump these castle walls ever sinceMy 16 year old days.You're the anchor that keeps me here,But never holds me down.And if you wouldn't mind packingA little bit quicker,I'd like to get out of this cityBefore it drowns(Bridge Part I)'Cause you're the anchor that keeps me here,But never holds me down.You're the anchor that keeps me here,But never holds me down.(Bridge Part II)So maybe if you're in the mood for it darling,We can stay here for a while.And maybe go down to the beach after sunsetAnd build sandcastles for miles.-Repeat-(Chorus)You're the only reason that IHaven't left this placeI could jump these castle walls ever sinceMy 16 year old days.You're the anchor that keeps me here,But never holds me down.And if you wouldn't mind packingA little bit quicker,I'd like to get out of this cityBefore it drowns
