Lyrics Run For The Border - Rea Garvey

She tells no one else
Cause no one can know
Her chance of escape yeah her time to go
She can say what she wants
But she can't speak her mind
She's just like a prisoner committed the crime

Her mother says she's always loud
She needs to give it up and settle down
Her father tried to break their rules
He took on the power lives by the hour

No longer a child
No longer afraid
There's no turning back her decision is made
She hides from the daylight
Rund from the dark
They'l know that she's gone
But she had a good start

And even if they're right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border (2×)

She's lost in the shadows
She's losing her mind
Not sure if she'll make it
But she has to keep trying
She's searching for happiness
That beautiful life
The pictures and magazines they kept classified

You feel forsaken
Your bodies shaking
As you step up to the starting line
Were you mistaken
Your bodies breaking
Just one chance to get it right

She's close to the border
She's starting to run
Her lungs are on fire
The lights go on
Now that they see you
There's no place to hide
You can't run for cover
You've to run for your life

And even if they are right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border (2×)

She's a victim of 45
When they built up the borders
Passed out the orders
She's a victim of 45
When they built up the borders
Passed up the orders

Even if you think they're right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since 45
You run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border (2×)
