"Runaway Horses" lyrics - THE KILLERS

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]
Small town girl, Coca Cola grin, honeysuckle skin
Born beneath the ready sign of a strawberry moon
Small town girl shows up for her friends, crazy about The Bends
I was there when she first put away childish things

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Phoebe Bridgers]
We had spring in our heels
Unwavering forces, headfirst into the unknown
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers & Phoebe Bridgers]
You traded school for weddings rings and rent
Invitations sent of you and him by a barn out on the edge of town
Small town girl, you put your dreams on ice, never thinking twice
Some you'll surely forget and some that you never will

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Phoebe Bridgers]
There was a promise in our stride
But we changed courses, headfirst into the unknown
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
Like runaway horses, it's a long way back home again
When every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
