Running Up the High Peak

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Steep road rising through the heavy clay Every step I take is pushing you away A quiet trade, a secret on the tongue We pay the price of what we left unsung [Pre-Chorus] It's pulling under, it's breaking through What if the sky was open to you? What if we tore the pages apart? A sudden spark in the dark [Chorus] Oh, we’re running up the high peak We’re chasing down the lightning, so wild and weak If I could break the lock on the gate We’d trade the burden of this heavy weight Oh, we’re running up, running up Oh, we’re running up, running up [Verse 2] Cold wind blowing through the rusted wire One touch and the frozen ground is on fire You see the scars but you don't know the name Of who was lost inside the driving rain [Pre-Chorus] It's pulling under, it's breaking through What if the sky was open to you? What if we tore the pages apart? A sudden spark in the dark [Chorus] Oh, we’re running up the high peak We’re chasing down the lightning, so wild and weak If I could break the lock on the gate We’d trade the burden of this heavy weight Oh, we’re running up, running up Oh, we’re running up, running up [Outro] Keep running, keep running Through the clay and the cold Keep running, keep running Before we grow old [Fade Out]
