I was feeling overwhelmed
Diving underground
You took me to a city
With no else around
Drew a breath and blew a bubble
Just to watch it burst
I fell in love with you
You heard it here first
Ooh we survived the winter
Prayed for rain and ran for shelter
Oh we got it coming
I say we keep on running
Changed my name and volunteered
To compile my early years
A thousand songs, give or take
Waiting for my voice to break
Greyhound down to Graceland
When pay-phones cost a dime
Ten long years on lonely street
Hanging on the line
Ooh we survived the winter
More twists than Harold Pinter
Oh we got it coming
I say we keep on running
I say we keep on running
Last night I watched you sleeping
Deep inside a dream
Or maybe I had taken
Too much antihistamine
Wrote a letter to the editor
Came on a little strong
Whoever writes the horoscope
Really got it wrong
Ooh we survived the winter
Prayed for rain and ran for shelter
Oh we got it coming
I say we keep on running
