Running Start Lyrics

Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb

That ladder stretching to the sky

With a love so young as the night is long

Well a running start can sure run wild

Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake

She took it just a little too far

It was all he could take 'til he made his break

He left her in the dark

Down with a broken heart

She came down with a broken heart

Now he pushed on, he was playing his song

Driving on a rock and roll dream

But she couldn't stay strong, with the chords all wrong

So she packed away to try to get clean

Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake

She took it just a little too far

It was all he could take 'til he made his break

He left her in the dark

Down with a broken heart

She came down with a broken heart

Well all her friends said she'd pull through

In familiar phrase and fair-weather rhyme

No one heard from her, they hadn't a clue

They all suspected she might've let go the line

Two planets aligned, they were ready to climb

That ladder stretching to the sky

With a love so young as the night is long

Well a running start can sure run wild

Oh, she had a little taste she couldn't shake

On her breaks at the back of the bar

It was all he could take, he might've made a mistake

Left her in the dark

Down with a broken heart

She came down with a broken heart

She came down from a running start
