We Can Run Away Now They’re All Dead and Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One step too far
Is not far enough
Away from here
Stay close to me
Don't relax your grip
On my right hand

[Chorus]
But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eyelid
Don't torture yourself thinking that it must sting

[Verse 2]
Don't turn your head
Pretend they're all dead
And gone by now
Can you feel that?
Feels like breath on the
Back of my neck

[Chorus]
But you are all I really want in this life
You could be the summer rain on my face
You push a little tear into my eyelid
Don't torture yourself thinking that it must sting

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
