[Verse 1]
Wanted a new day, wanted a new start
Wanted to wake up the following day with someone else's heart
Beating and beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating
Hopped in a taxi cab on my way to a hotel
Peeking through the tinted window to see if anyone could tell
[Refrain]
Beating and beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating
Beating and beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating, beating
[Chorus]
I shook my head in disbelief
And wiped the saline from my cheeks
Tried to stay positive
Tried to stay positive
Followed the double yellow lines
No turning back while I'm alive
Tried to stay positive
Tried to stay positive
[Verse 2]
A wanted innocent fugitive with adrenaline
Remain patient 'til the warning on the cabbie's CB cut in
Beating and beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating
I said, "Right here is fine, keep the change, I'll walk the rest of the way"
Checked into a Motel 6 with my hoodie on my face
[Refrain]
Beating and beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating
My heart was beating in my chest
Beating in my chest, beating, beating, beating
[Chorus]
I shook my head in disbelief
And wiped the saline from my cheeks
Tried to stay positive
Tried to stay positive
Followed the double yellow lines
No turning back while I'm alive
Tried to stay positive
Tried to stay positive
[Bridge]
I, I, I wanna live, I wanna scream it out
I, I, I wanna live, I wanna scream it out
I, I, I wanna live, I wanna scream it out loud
But I'm a fugitive now
[Outro]
But I'm a fugitive now
