Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna run, I wanna hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
[Verse 2]
I want to feel the light on my face
I want to see the dust cloud
Disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
[Verse 3]
We're always building and then burning
Down the love
And burning down love
But when I go there
I'll go there with you
It's all I can do
[Verse 4]
The city's flood, and our love turns to rust
We're beaten down and blown by the wind
And trampled into dust
But I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
[Verse 5]
We're always building and then burning
Down love
And tearing down love
But when I go there
I'll go there with you
It's all I can do
It's all I can do
[Verse 6]
And then even then we'd go on burning with love
Until we can love
But when I go there
I'll go there with you
'Cause even when we go on burning with love
We go on burning down love
But I'll go there with you (Down love)
When I go there
I'll go there with you
It's all I can do
Where the streets have no name
