The lyrics

Verse 1 You came walking through the midnight rain, Leather jacket and a runaway train In your eyes, like you’d already seen Every promise disappear from the scene I had nothing but a rusted car, Half a map and an old guitar You said, “Baby, we don’t need a plan— Just an open road and a fighting chance” Pre-Chorus They can lock every door in this town, We’ll find another way out Chorus When the sirens learn our names, We’ll be dancing in the red-lit rain Let the whole world point the blame— We were never born to live afraid When the walls begin to shake, I’ll be standing where the thunder breaks They can chase us through the flames, But they’ll never make us change When the sirens learn our names Verse 2 We slept under motel neon signs, Counting scars like battle lines Every mile took a little more, But we knew what we were running for There were nights when the road went black, When the doubt came crawling back You would reach across the dark and say, “We’ve survived everything till today” Pre-Chorus Let them talk like they know how it ends, They never fought for something like this Chorus When the sirens learn our names, We’ll be dancing in the red-lit rain Let the whole world point the blame— We were never born to live afraid When the walls begin to shake, I’ll be standing where the thunder breaks They can chase us through the flames, But they’ll never make us change When the sirens learn our names Bridge Maybe heaven never heard us pray, Maybe luck just looked the other way But I’d lose every road I’ve known Before I ever let you walk alone So raise your hands, let the night roll in, We’ve got nothing left to hide again Whatever waits beyond that line, Your heart is running next to mine Final Chorus When the sirens learn our names, We’ll be louder than the pouring rain Let the whole world point the blame— We were never theirs to rearrange When the walls begin to shake, We’ll be standing where the skyline breaks They can chase us through the flames, But they’ll never make us change No, they’ll never make us change When the sirens learn our names Outro Let them call us what they may— We’ll still be here at break of day
