The heart on your wrist is fading
West Coast seems lonely lately
Friends are all growing up
And every beat is a measure of blood
Kid you can't keep running away again (ooo)
I know you're scared of the symphony
Everybody playing along
Same song in a similar key
Once you were someone's baby
Broke your heart in a blue Mercedes
Now, now dry those eyes up
'Cause every tear is just salt in your cuts
And k-k-kid you can't keep running away again (ooo)
I know you're scared of photography
Permanently placed in a frame
Name, date and the company you keep
Here in the dark
All alone with this mess-
of-a heart that won't quit
'Till it beats you to death
When the light dies down
When the flame burns out
Mood rings dark blue and lately
Tried to call but your voice was shaking
New town filling you up
With every cold substitution for love, but
Kid you can't keep running away again (ooo)
I know you're scared everyone will leave
So you keep on pushing away
Blank page and the loneliest dreams
Here in the dark
All alone with this mess-
of-a heart that won't quit
'Till it beats you to death
Heartthrob - oh now
Are you lost or found?
When the light dies down
When the flame burns out
The heart on your wrist is fading
True love got tired of waiting
Lips are covered in dust
And every kiss is a mark of mistrust and
Kid you can't keep running away again (ooo)
I know you're scared everyone will leave
So you keep on pushing away
Old age and the loneliest loneliest loneliest dreams
Here in the dark
All alone with this mess-
of-a heart that won't quit
'Till it beats you to death
Heartthrob - oh now
Are you lost or found?
When the light dies down
When the flame burns out
