When my heart is ready to burst When the world spins in reverse I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you go, turn down the light No one's here to hold you in the night I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you think you're on your own I'm still coming home! When our picture fades in the sun And all the colors blur in the one I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you think you're on your own I'm still coming home! When your all gets blinded When you fold with the cards No, I'll never stop fighting To get to where you are! Wherever we go Wherever we go Wherever we go Wherever we go Wherever we go Wherever we go When the lights are faded to black Only stars are guiding me back I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you think you're on your own I'm still coming home When you think you're on your own I'm still coming home
