Run Against the Light

作词：小俞

作曲：小俞

Before the traffic light counts down

I throw myself across the crosswalk line

What's in my backpack isn't tomorrow

Just pieces of old photos faded and torn

The subway wind blows lies away

No one says goodbye on the platform

My shadow stretches into a string

Every step lands on a knife's edge

They say there's a cliff up ahead

But I see the light over there

They say there's a cliff up ahead

But I hear the ocean over there

Run against the light never look back

Fold all the rules into paper wings

Run against the light smash through the wall

Wounds will blossom into medals

The wind surrenders in my ear

I laugh at how tame it is

The last darkness before dawn

Is just the right place to hide my fear

My glasses fog up and somehow

I see the fake sunshine more clear

The pages missing from the textbooks

I'll draw my own direction here

They say there's a cliff up ahead

But I see the light over there

They say there's a cliff up ahead

But I hear the ocean over there

Run against the light never look back

Fold all the rules into paper wings

Run against the light smash through the wall

Wounds will blossom into medals

The wind surrenders in my ear

I laugh at how tame it is

The last darkness before dawn

Is just the right place to hide my fear

Even if I fall let me fall into the light

Burning to ash is brighter than kneeling down

The name my legs have signed forever

Is always “On the way to the far side”

Run against the light tear open the dawn

Don't ask me what “normal”means

Run against the light no finish line

Running itself is the direction

What if the second hand shatters

I live inside my own time zone

When all the light turns its back on me

I become the only light I've known

Run…

Against the light

…No hurry
