"Constant Runners"
Released: N/A
"Constant Runners" is a song about always being on the move, about never stopping. It was performed at Josef's early shows, and later at his performance at London Calling in Amsterdam late 2014. Initially Josef said the song would not be featured on the album, saying it did not match the tone of the album and could not be re-done because it just didn't 'flow'. However, Josef has now confirmed the song will be added to the album! He performed the song during the summer of 2015 and will most likely be added to the setlist of the Night Swim Tour.
Lyrics
Everybody knows we don’t wait long
Some people say it’s cause we’re on the run
People will talk
I heard them saying we look broken and gaunt
I heard them saying we look weathered and old
I heard them saying we were out of control
And you said
Don’t stop looking around your shoulder
It’s all that lying, it’s making you bolder
It’s all that crying, it’s making you older
It’s time, it’s time to get a grip
We’re constant runners
And when the going got tough
We’d leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
’Til the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
Run on, run on, just keep on running
Run on, run on, just keep on running
Run on, run on, just keep on running
Run on, run on, just keep on running
Now I look back
Perhaps it’s fair to say you had a point
But in our defense we weren’t alone
There were others
It felt like the whole world
Was running too
Don’t stop looking around your shoulder
It’s all that lying it’s making you older
It’s all that crying it’s making you bolder
It’s time, it’s time to get a grip
We’re constant runners
And when the going got tough
We’d leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
’Til the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
We’re constant runners
We were running away from the world, from ourselves
We’re constant runners
And we were leaving it all
(Just keep on running)
Behind
It’s all gonna catch you up
It’s all gonna catch you up
It’s all gonna catch you up
It’s all gonna catch you up
It’s all gonna catch you up
We’re constant runners
And when the going got tough
We’d leave it all in our guts
We were constant runners
’Til the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
We’re constant runners
We were running away from the world, from ourselves
We’re constant runners
And we were leaving it all
(Just keep on running)
