I heard you knocking at my back door
You said your family´s gone
And you can´t help me anymore
I heard you knocking, I heard you say
It´s not funny that things have to turn out this way

I broke out into the night
For something out of sight
Kept moving faster
Decisions I made, losing you to the narrowing light
I always loved you
You knew I always loved you
Oncoming traffic, fading into...

The end of the world
You know I´ll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

I held a job for a while
To keep you happy
To keep you laughing

I knew it wasn´t enough
I could not keep acting tough
And I would find you
Just the way I raised you
Those pale green eyes, burning into...

The end of the world
You know I´ll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

It´s the end of the world
You know I´ll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming

I heard you knocking at my back door
You said your family´s gone

And you can´t help me anymore
I heard you knocking, I heard you say
It´s not funny that things have to turn out this way

It´s the end of the world
You know I´ll keep on running
We gotta get out of here
Before the cops start coming
