Stampede Lyrics

With your hair tied back
And my T-shirt on
And we're bathed in red
Drowning in neon
Well I know how this story goes
Well I know

We got love to spill
Full of blood to bleed
Never gave a fuck
Where our lives would lead
But I know
I'm gonna lose you in the stampede

Settle down in the thunder
Lay your soul in this bed
Give me ghosts to remember
Not to forget
With your hair tied back
And my T-shirt on
And the universe
Rattlin' through your bones
Well I know how this story goes
Well I know

In your sister's car
When we stole her keys
To the reservoir
At a breakneck speed
Well I know
I'm gonna lose you
In the stampede
Hummingbird in the jet stream
Paper boat in the sea
Stay with me reckless
Baby stay with me

With your hair tied back
And my T-shirt on
And we're bathed in red
Drowning in neon
Well I know how this story goes
Well I know

I wanna burst your heart
Wanna watch you sleep
Nothing in this life is guaranteed
But I know
I'm gonna lose you
In the stampede

With your hair tied back
And my T-shirt on
And the universe
Rattlin' through your bones
Well I know how this story goes
Well I know
In a concrete rush
With no air to breathe
And it feels like your love
Is just another mouth to feed
And I know
I'm gonna lose you
In the stampede

With your hair tied back
And my T-shirt on
And we're bathed in red
Drowning in neon
Well I know
I'm gonna lose you
In the stampede

What did Tor Miller say about "Stampede"?
Genius Answer

It’s the book-end. I wanted ‘Stampede’ to end on a ‘what the hell happened there?!’ moment. It’s expansive. I wanted it to sound like Bruce Springsteen covering ‘Purple Rain’ (which he recently did, weirdly enough). I can hear it on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury as the weekend closes. It’s a song I’m hugely proud of.
