I heard you knocking at my back door

You said your family's gone

And you can't help me anymore

I heard you knocking I heard you say

It's not funny that things have to turn out this way

I broke out into the night for something out of sight

Kept moving faster

Decisions I made losing you to the narrowing light

I always loved you you knew I always loved you

Oncoming traffic fading into

The end of the world

You know I'll keep on running

We gotta get out of here

Before the cops start coming

I held a job for a while to keep you happy

To keep you laughing

I knew wasn't enough

I could not keep acting tough

And I would find you just the way I raised you

Those pale green eyes burning into

The end of the world

You know I'll keep on running

We gotta get out of here

Before the cops start coming

It's the end of the world

You know I'll keep on running

We gotta get out of here

Before the cops start coming

I heard you knocking at my back door

You said your family's gone

You can't help me anymore

I heard you knocking I heard you say

It's not funny that things have to turn out this way

It's the end of the world

You know I'll keep on running

We gotta get out of here

Before the cops start coming

It's the end of the world

You know I'll keep on running

I heard you knocking at my back door

You family's gone

You can't help me anymore

I heard you knocking I heard you say

It's not funny that things have to turn out this way
