Kids on the Run Lyrics
Oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire
Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk
Where the promise to lead what is right
As we both know how fields will turn white
And know I will never speak of days
Cause I know you wont count them.
No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
And we're walking our crooked paths home
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run.
And no we will never be a part of the pictures once taken
When we're feeding fire with the flames til no memories gone
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run
And the reflections in their eyes
Sure could paint us as killers
Oh, I'll be there.
And til the terror of our time
Could forgive us as lovers
Oh, let's break some hearts
And no I will never speak of ways 'cause I know you wont try them
But all the weapons raining from the sky will be ours to embrace
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done
Guess we're still kids on the run.
Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk
Where the promise to lead what is right
As we both know how fields will turn white
Cause I know you wont count them.
No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
And we're walking our crooked paths home
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run.
When we're feeding fire with the flames til no memories gone
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run
Sure could paint us as killers
Oh, I'll be there.
Could forgive us as lovers
Oh, let's break some hearts
But all the weapons raining from the sky will be ours to embrace
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done
Guess we're still kids on the run.

I saw an interview with Kristian a few weeks ago and he was talking to about this song he said something along the lines of "I don't really like telling people what my songs are about personally, i like them to make it something special for their self, but it's something that I had to write, I've had to for a while now"
ever since i've heard that and been listening to the song all i can think of is abortion.
"Oh the reflections in their eyes Sure could paint us as killers"
some people of course think abortion is evil, that you're killing a human. this could be what this line is about.
also "oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire" the had sex because it was their desire, yet it failed to be a bright morning because she got pregnant.
"no i will never speak of ways, cause i know you won't try them"
perhaps this is about him trying to persuade her to keep the baby and telling her the other ways they could deal with it ex. adoption or raising it together.
Instead of "And we're walking our crooked backs home" I hear "...we're walking our crooked path home"
This song gives me goosebumps.
Lyrically, probably the best song on the new album. Very Springsteen-esque.
Two lovers destroying the planet (nuclear.)
Think about it.
its freaking amazing, heartbreaking, and moving...his best song, easily.
'we have never grown a day from the poison we shared' they both swallowed poison and died hence never grew up so will always be kids on the run. As romeo and juliet is a timeless story. just thought that was a nice little allusion in the poem/song
The line: "And we're walking our crooked backs home" should read.... And we're walking our crooked PATH home.
And I think "til no memories gone" should be SOON ALL MEMORY'S gone"
@vociferous It is definitely Path, he uses that word is almost every song!!!!!
@vociferous It is definitely Path, he uses that word is almost every song!!!!!
Also "And know" should probably be "And NO" each time he sings it
'we have never grown a day from the poisin we shared' i believe it is talking about ex lovers who had a passionate but toxic relationship and have never fully moved on.
