Hold your head up high
Draped in a silhouette
Another hundred miles
Another carton of cigarettes
There's nohere left to hide
From the lies we tell ourselves
I've already scaled your tallest peak
There's no higher I could go from here
Oh
Maybe it was obvious
I was never good enough, oh
She used me like a hungry drug
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
Oh, what she came here for
I'm the dead but in a raging storm, oh
She wears me like a crown of thorns
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
You hold me to your chest
Draped like a memory
We both wish we'd forget
But you keep coming back to me
All that we have left are the shards of this tired dream
I'm already on my knees my dear
There's no lower I can go from here
Oh
Maybe it was obvious
I was never good enough, oh
She used me like a hungry drug
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
Oh, what she came here for
I'm the dead but in a raging storm
She wears me like a crown of thorns
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
In my dreams, hold me closer
Tried to come clean but I always wake up
All these years, getting over
Tried to come clean but I always wake up
All my dreams, hold me closer
Tried to come clean but I always wake up
Maybe it was obvious
I was never good enough but
You used me like a hungry drug
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
And when the flood came through
You were all I had to hold onto
And everyday I'm falling for you
Run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
'Round the mountain
