Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
They're not coming to take me away!
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay
Yeah
There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming
When it's coming
There's a weight that's pressing me down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming
Or when
But it's coming, keep the car running
There's this fear I keep so deep
Knew it's name since before I can speak, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They know my name I know them
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name but I don't understand
But they don't know where, they don't know when
It's coming
Or when
Keeps me coming, keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
They're not coming to take me away!
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay
Yeah
There's a weight that's pressing down

Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when
It's coming
When it's coming
There's a weight that's pressing me down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know when

Keeps me coming, keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
