[Verse 1]
You figured it out, the trick to the game
You made the fires bloom and got me so drawn to the flames that I changed
It’s true, midnight and you, you’re the same
You come to me once a day
And every time that I ask you why, you say cos you know just what it takes

[Chorus 1]
(To keep me running back to you)
So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming
Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder
You found a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you

[Verse 2]
You figured it out didn’t you? I felt you re-write the rules
I felt every inch of the flames burn your name
It’s true, the oceans and me, we’re the same. We both come in waves, but you
You learned how to sail these blues until they welcome you and you say you know just what it takes

[Chorus 2]
(To keep me running back to you)
So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming
Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder
You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you
When I’m at my limit, when I’m at the point where I might say
“Gotta pull my heart out, I need to keep some space. Gotta keep some distance”
You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you
You work me hard in the days till I forget a world without you. You found a way to work that heartbreak feeling to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you

[Chorus 3]
(To keep me running back to you)
So when the night falls and my mind drifts into space and I know that I’m dreaming
Even that can’t take away your hand from my shoulder
You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you
When I’m at my limit, when I’m at the point where I might say
“Gotta pull my heart out, I need to keep some space. Gotta keep some distance”
You find a way to keep me running back to you, to keep me running back to you
(To keep me running back to you)
(To keep me running back to you)
