The Spark Lyrics

I'm throwing words at the wind

Just to see if they stick

To the wall in my head

Cause I just want to feel that way

It felt when I knew myself

And that spark in my heart was a flame

Before nine to fives, children and wives

We spent our days just chasing dream

It all became reality but I lost myself

Somewhere in-between Highway lights and dollar signs


And the hole they burned in me

I still savor the days when running away meant

Skipping school to write songs in your basement

I woke up in a dream and couldn't go back to sleep

I keep running, I keep running

The things I loved I pushed away

Cause I couldn't catch what I couldn't chase

The world fell right in front of me

But I keep running, I keep running away

I've seen where the side walk ends

And I'm back at where it starts again

I've spent half of my life seeing my name in lights

But the spark in the night only fades

When you dream of the things that you had

How far can you get with a string in your back?

They push, they pull, then throw you away

Cause you're nothing more than a way to get paid

I still savor the days when running away meant

Skipping school to write songs in your basement

And I woke up in a dream and couldn't go back to sleep

So I keep running, I keep running

The things I loved I pushed away

Cause I couldn't catch what I couldn't chase

The world fell right in front of me but I keep running, I keep running

Push, Pull, don't throw it away

The thrill of it all is the love for the chase

Push, Pull, don't throw it away

Don't throw it away, don't throw me away

I still savor the days when running away meant

Skipping school to write songs in your basement

And I woke up in a dream and couldn't go back to sleep

So I keep running, I keep running

The things I loved I pushed away

Cause I couldn't catch what I couldn't chase

The world fell right in front of me

But I keep running, I keep running

I remember the days when this all still made sense

I still savor the days when we weren't running away

I keep running, I'm still running away

(Something's aren't meant to hold, only chase)
