[Verse 1]
Flashes of doubt, they grow into a rage
Locked out the truth, they keep your dreams at bay
Don't stand there waitin' for the time to come
Come on, come on, catch me, we got miles to run

[Chorus]
We are alive, our skin is leaving these bones
Fire in the wind, we're burnin' out of control
We are the children chasin' wondrous thrills
Chasin' a vision, baby, like we're runnin' downhill, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, runnin' down
Hey, hey, runnin' down

[Verse 2]
We tear these curtains open, feel the light
Swim to the surface, let our lungs ignite
Slip past the guards before they raise the guns
Come on, come on, catch me, we got miles to run

[Chorus]
We are alive, our skin is leaving these bones
Fire in the wind, we're burnin' out of control
We are the children chasin' wondrous thrills
Chasin' a vision, baby, like we're runnin' downhill, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, runnin' down
Hey, hey, runnin' down
Hey, hey

[Bridge]
(Oh)
Someday this body's gonna come to rest
But not 'til the very last beat of my chest (Oh)
These hills take longer than we think to get down
So I'll get used to livin' with my feet off the ground
(Runnin' downhill)

[Chorus]
We are alive, our skin is leaving these bones
Fire in the wind, we're burnin' out of control
We are the children chasin' wondrous thrills
Chasin' a vision, baby, like we're runnin' downhill, oh

[Outro]
Oh, runnin' down
(Runnin' downhill)
(Runnin' downhill)
Runnin' down, runnin' down, runnin' downhill
(Runnin' downhill)
Runnin'
