Lyrics for Electron Blue

You're on your ear, the ocean's near The light has started to fade Your high is timed, you found the climb It's hard to focus on more than what's in front of you Electron Blue Adventure rings with a page and When it dawns on you, It singes blue Your buzz beginning to wane. Adventure has laid its claim on you It's all you want to do. You You know where to run You run Electron Blue. And who am I? I'm just a guy I've got a story like everyone But in your eyes You looked surprised And didn't know where to run I looked to her She's found the cure Her future's already begun Tomorrow's gaining speed on you It's all you want to do You You know where to run You run Electron Blue You You know where to run You run electron blue So bide your time You'll feel the climb Your high it builds like a lightning storm It sings like pearls You know that girl And no one is any the wiser So as if on cue... Electron Blue Tomorrow's gaining speed on you It's all you want to do You You know where to run You run, Electron Blue You You know where to run You run, Electron Blue You You know where to run You run, Electron Blue
