I
I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun
I'll be the bright, in black, that's making you run
And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright
Because we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out
Now I'll be doing this, if you ever doubt
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium
I'll be your fifty thousand clapping like one
And I feel alright, and I feel alright
Because I worked it out, yeah I worked it out
I'll be doing this, if you ever doubt
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
I got my mind made up and I can't let go
I'm killing every second till it saves my soul
I'll be running, I'll be running
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
There's a maniac out in front of me
Got an angel on my shoulder and Mephistopheles
My momma raised me good, momma raised me right
Momma said "do what you want and say prayers at night"
And I'm saying them, because I'm so devout
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
I got my mind made up and I can't let go
I'm killing every second till it saves my soul
I'll be running, I'll be running
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
Oh, we all want the same thing
Oh, we all run for something
Oh, for God, for fate, for love, for hate
For gold, and rust, for diamonds, and dust
I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun
I'll be the bright, in black, that's making you run
I got my mind made up and I can't let go
I'm killing every second till it saves my soul
I'll be running, I'll be running
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun
I'll be the bright, in black, that's making you run
And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright
Because we'll work it out, yes we'll work it out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
Till the love runs out, till the love runs out
Till the love runs out
