[Verse 1]

27 years, 27 years old

Only thing I know, the only thing I get told

I gotta sell out if I want to get sold

Don't want the devil to be taking my soul

I write songs that come from the heart

I don't give a fuck if they get into the chart, or not

Only way I can be, is to say what I see

And have no shadow hanging over me

[Hook]

I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

Cause, running's the thing I've always done

I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done

I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

[Verse 2]

27 years, 27 years now

Only thing I know, I know that I don't know how

To please everybody all of the time

Cause everybody's always fucking changing their minds

A little bit faded, a little bit jaded

Don't want to stop, won't be persuaded

To write words I can't believe in

To see my face on a video screen

[Hook]

I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

Cause, running's the thing I've always done

I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done

I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

[Verse 3]

27 years, 27 years done

Written 600 songs, only 12 get sung

87,000 cigarettes have passed through these lungs

And every single day I wish I'd never smoked one

A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut

8 years sleeping, I'm still tired when I wake up

A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck

5 proper girlfriends and 5 messy breakups

27 birthdays, 27 new years

30,000 quid, just so I could have a few beers

Ever dying old hopes, ever growing new fears

Don't know where I'm going, but I know how I got here

[Hook]

I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

Cause, running's the thing I've always done

I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done

I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun

Said I don't know where I'm running but I know how to run

Cause, running's the thing I've always done

I don't know what I'm doing but I know what I've done

I'm a hungry heart, I'm a loaded gun
