lyrics

they were much more
than a cautionary tale,
told out of school

they're on the run
they're on the run
they're on the run
they’re on the run

can't go back, can't go back
you can't go back, you can't go back

you can't go back

can't go back, can't go back,
you can't go back, you can't go back

can't go back

cuz they'd been gone too long,
they'd been gone too long,
and upon
their return,
they were made
to face
the rough music

they'd been gone too long,
they'd been gone too long,
and upon
their return,
they were made
to face
the rough music

baking cakes in hubcaps,
finding their new way
along the way,
they don't have to stay,
and face
all that
rough music

they'd been gone too long,
they'd been gone,
and upon
their return
they were made
to face
the rough music

can't ever go back,
some people keep track,
can't ever go back,
some people keep track

why should you have to?
you don't have to
relive this

so much past in this past,
so much past
in this past,
time to
let it pass
