Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm born to run, down rocky cliffs

Give me grace, bury my sins

Shattered glass and black holes

Can't hold me back from where I need to go

[Verse 2]

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]

Yellow hills and valleys deep

I watched them move under my feet

Stranger things, have come and gone

To see the world and take the throne

Don't hold back

Oh, I won't hold back

[Verse 4]

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

I'm gonna spend my time

Like tomorrow won't come

Do whatever I want

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 5]

I wanna see Paris (Hey)

I wanna see Tokyo

I wanna be careless (Hey)

Even if I break my bones

[Verse 6]

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 7]

A winding road, where strangers meet

To feel the love of a warm drink

My body moves, it's speakin' loud

Don't have to say what I'm thinkin' now

[Verse 8]

Don't hold back

Oh, I won't hold back

[Verse 9]

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

I'm gonna spend my time

Like tomorrow won't come

Do whatever I want

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 10]

I wanna see Paris (Hey)

I wanna see Tokyo

I wanna be careless (Hey)

Even if I break my bones

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 11]

All these things, I've seen and done

I live my life like I'm born to run

All these things, I've seen and done

I live my life like I'm born to run

All these things, I've seen and done

I will live my life, born to, born to, born to run

[Verse 12]

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

I'm gonna spend my time

Like tomorrow won't come

Do whatever I want

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 13]

I wanna see Paris (Hey)

I wanna see Tokyo

I wanna be careless (Hey)

Even if I break my bones

I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die young

Like it's never enough

Like I'm born to run

[Verse 14]

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
