[Verse 1]

You're on your ear, the ocean's near

The light has started to fade

Your high is timed, you found the climb

It's hard to focus on more than what's in front of you

Electron blue, adventure rings with a page

And when it dawns on you, it singes blue

Your buzz beginning to wane


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Adventure's laid its claim on you

It's all you want to do


[Chorus]

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue


[Verse 2]

And who am I? I'm just a guy

I've got a story like everyone

But in your eyes you looked surprised

And didn't know where to run

I looked to her, she's found the cure

Her future's already begun


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Tomorrow's gaining speed on you

It's all you want to do


[Chorus]

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue


[Verse 3]

So bide your time, you'll feel the climb

Your high it builds like a lightning storm

It sings like pearls, you know that girl

And no one is any the wiser

So as if on cue, electron blue


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Tomorrow's gaining speed on you

It's all you want to do


[Chorus]

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue

You, you know where to run

You run electron blue
