Daughter - Run (With Lyrics) [HQ]

Daughter (Elena Tonra) - Run
Found this lovely song from The Music Ninja. Tried to search for lyrics but couldn't find one. So, I wrote the lyrics all by ear and I'm sorry if I misheard some of the words. It's not perfect. If you know the actual word, do let me know.

Lyrics:

While I powder my nose,
he will powder his gums,
& if I try to get close,
he is already gone,
I don't know where he's going,
I don't know where he's been.
But he is restless at night,
he has horrible dreams.

So we lay in the dark,
cause we've got nothing to say.
Just the beating of hearts,
like two drums in the grey.
I don't know what we're doing,
I don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
so I think we should run.

I think we should run, run, run, run..
Run, run, run, run..
Run, run, run, run..

While I put on my shoes,
he will button his coat,
& we will step outside,
checking out the coast is clear
on both sides,
we don't wanna be seen.
Oh, this is suicide..
But you can't see the ropes.

& I won't tell my mother.
It's better she don't know
& he won't tell his folks,
Cause they're already ghosts.
So we'll just keep each other,
as safe as we can.
Until we reach the border,
until we make our plan.

To run, run, run, run..
To run, run, run, run..
To run, run, run, run..

Will you stay with me my love?
For another day..
Cause I don't want to be alone,
when I'm in this state.
Will you stay with me my love?
Till we're old and grey.
I don't wanna be alone.
When these bones decay..

Run, run, run, run..
Oh run, run, run, run..
Run, run, run, run..
Ooh and run, run, run, run..
Run, run, run, run..
Run, run, run, run..

While I powder my nose,
he will powder his gums,
& if I try to get close,
he is already gone,

Don't know what we're doing,
don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
so I think we should run.

Btw, 'Run' is featured on the 'Demos' EP, it's available for free from musicglue.com/daughter.

in regard to the lyrics, i think it's 'powder his gums' instead of guns - as in like putting cocaine on your gums or whatever? i haven't asked her but i know elena and i'm pretty sure that's what it'll be :)

@sarahwillyson thanks for the correction! (:

I love this song.

You missed only the ´s´ of stay in your description-part

(Will you tay with me my love?

Till we're old and grey. - you have written)

I am not a English native speaker, but I think the lyrics are right.

Well done!

The beginning reminds me of The Hooper's of Hudspeth by Kaki King. :D

@AcousticFan08 Powder his Gums would mean to lick cocaine. Very normal thing to do for an addict.

@freedom7717 I was just thinking that! Like the "I won't tell my mother, it's better she don't know. And he won't tell his folks, cause they're already ghosts" part for Katniss and Peeta. :)

this is young people's music. really good young people's music, vulnerability notwithstanding.

[AcousticFan08]
