[Verse 1]
Well, you could write it in the dirt, girl
Write it on a ten pound note
Everything that I have learned so far
Nothing's worth knowing till you know your part
Times are getting leaner
If ever you were on my side
Oh how I wish that you were stood here now
Leading me to shelter when the night comes down

[Chorus]
"Baby," you said, "We're not ever gonna go home"
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"

[Verse 2]
Well it's the pressure of the years, girl
Burning little holes in love
Till we make every little thing so hard
Nothing comes easy to a cage-like heart
Now the light is failing
If ever you were at my side
Then love, I need you to be stood there now
Down to the wire where the bad ones go

[Chorus 2]
"Baby," you said, "We're not ever gonna go home"
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
Well, maybe those words never really mattered at all
But lately those words run with me wherever I go
[Chorus 1]
"Baby," you said, "We're not ever gonna go home"
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
"Baby," you said, "We're not ever gonna go home"
And "Baby, will you run with me wherever I go?"
