Run For Cover - No Love For The Middle Child

When you were younger

Said you’d leave an open door, so you don’t wonder

If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder

'Cause sometimes less is really more, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered

Now you’re older

Summer’s fine but every winter just gets colder

You keep on fighting for the truth but you’re no soldier

That your heart keeps waging war, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered

Daylight, walk till you can’t see

The straight lines, written in gasoline

'Cause sometimes, it’s not what you believe

That keeps you on the edge of your seat

Always looking outward

But it’s somewhere underneath

Like how you’re holding onto something

Just outside your reach

You complicate the point

Just because you choose not to speak

When you were younger

Said you’d leave an open door, so you don’t wonder

If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder

'Cause sometimes less is really more, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered

Now you’re older

Summer’s fine but every winter just gets colder

You keep on fighting for the truth but you’re no soldier

That your heart keeps waging war, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered

You keep tryna move on but the baggage weighs a ton

Rather run straight out the back door than to talk to anyone

And you keep telling yourself that the best is yet to come

(But when will it come?)

When you can’t catch a breath

And it sends shivers down your spine

And looking in the mirror’s

A face that you don’t recognize

Tried praying to a God

'Cause it once gave you peace of mind

I won’t tell you that it’s easy

I won’t tell you that it’s kind

When you were younger

Said you’d leave an open door, so you don’t wonder

If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder

'Cause sometimes less is really more, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered

Now you’re older

Summer’s fine but every winter just gets colder

You keep on fighting for the truth but you’re no soldier

That your heart keeps waging war, don’t run for cover

Even if you’re outnumbered
