Rabbit, Run

«Goodnight, love»
You whisper so I won’t wake up
I’m playing like I’m sound asleep
I ain’t in the mood for your late-night company
You flip the switch
Immediately, my leg starts to twitch
My mind is racing out of this town
Along them U.P. tracks, Omaha-bound
Back to Emerald Bay
That apartment where I played it safe
I imagined a lifetime there
A most peculiar man in the room downstairs
My rabbit hole, a haven to hide from the cold
That’s where I wish I’d go
Instead, I flush myself out into this lonely world
So run, rabbit, run
There’s always someone to be running from
Once you learned to escape from the crib
You’ve been running ever since
So run, rabbit, run
I ain’t going to tell no one
Life’s got you by the ears
You got to kick it all away and disappear
So run, rabbit, run
Hop into the setting sun
Where life began and where it will end
From a rabbit hole, you sprung
And night after night
You keep poking your head back
Run, rabbit, run
I loved you all, but only for an instant
