Build Us Airplanes - The Running Song Lyrics

When we dream we drive in stolen cars
Without control we veer off in the dark
Lights flicker, then they go out
In a ditch we roll, passengers turning, their bodies are burning

We feel no pain our eyes are hovering
We took our chances on these country roads

All of our faces change, memories erased from our minds
Another barricade, past impressions made, held in time

When the words are taken from our mouths
For the first time we can speak our minds again
We hold no grudges on the other side
The wall was built to well to break through

All of our faces change, memories erased from our minds
Another barricade, past impressions made, held in time
And in our choices made, our paths are cleared and paved from behind
Along the interstate our fathers flags will wave for all time
