[Verse 1] We were built in a box Under borrowed names Small-town rules, too tight Cutting into our veins You held the spark I brought the spark Now the whole night knows We don't live in the dark [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the dash Heart on the floor If they lock one door We kick down more [Chorus] Run the wire, run it wild We were never made to stay Run the wire, run it wild Burn the last map, make our way (Oh, oh) Live loud, live loud (Oh, oh) We don't bow now [Verse 2] My boots hit the curb Like a drum roll threat Your laugh in my ear Said "Baby, not yet" We stole back time From the mouth of the crowd Now every old fear Gets drowned out loud [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the dash Heart on the floor If they lock one door We kick down more [Chorus] Run the wire, run it wild We were never made to stay Run the wire, run it wild Burn the last map, make our way (Oh, oh) Live loud, live loud (Oh, oh) We don't bow now [Bridge] If the room goes cold We bring the fire in If the past says "wait" We say "begin" Your name on my tongue Like a battle cry Two voices rising And we won't ask why [Final Chorus] Run the wire, run it wild We were never made to stay Run the wire, run it wild Burn the last map, make our way (Oh, oh) Live loud, live loud (Oh, oh) We don't bow now Run the wire, run it wild This is our time This is our shout
