Run It Up

Lyrics

[Intro] Take one breath, the room is turning No looking back, the fuse is burning [Verse 1] You walked in with a borrowed jacket Gold thread loose where the sleeve got snagged I said, “Don’t fix it, leave it like that” You laughed once, then you pulled me back Coffee rings on the rehearsal floor Your name tapped twice on the studio door We don’t need luck, we don’t need signs Just your hand finding mine on the count-in time [Pre-Chorus] If the night asks where we’re going Tell it somewhere we can’t be caught Every second keeps unfolding Like a secret we forgot [Chorus] Run it up, run it up, hearts on fire Higher now, higher now, take me higher We came in with nothing but a beat and a spark Now we’re writing our names across the dark Run it up, run it up, don’t come down Turn it loud, turn it loud, shake this town When the whole world says we’re moving too fast Hold me close and make this moment last [Verse 2] You know the code to my old phone Three small knocks and I’m coming home Rain on the glass, bass through the wall We made a kingdom out of nothing at all No perfect pose, no polished lie Just tired eyes and a fearless try You say, “One more,” I say, “One more time” Then the sunrise catches us crossing the line [Pre-Chorus] If the night asks where we’re going Tell it somewhere we can’t be caught Every second keeps unfolding Like a secret we forgot [Chorus] Run it up, run it up, hearts on fire Higher now, higher now, take me higher We came in with nothing but a beat and a spark Now we’re writing our names across the dark Run it up, run it up, don’t come down Turn it loud, turn it loud, shake this town When the whole world says we’re moving too fast Hold me close and make this moment last [Rap Break] No map, no brakes, I’m cutting through the doubt Small room, big dream, watch the walls give out Receipt in my pocket from the train last night Now the same two feet got the whole floor light You bring the nerve, I bring the timing Cold start, still perfect climbing If they count us out, let them keep that score We’ll make a new door where there wasn’t one before [Bridge] Stay right here, don’t fade away Say my name like you mean to stay All these years were a paper plane Now we’re watching it cross the rain [Final Chorus] Run it up, run it up, hearts on fire Higher now, higher now, take me higher We came in with nothing but a beat and a spark Now we’re writing our names across the dark Run it up, run it up, don’t come down Turn it loud, turn it loud, shake this town When the whole world says we’re moving too fast Hold me close and make this moment last [Outro] One more time, one more time Your hand in mine, your hand in mine
