Jin “Running Wild” Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s a way
There’s a way that we can fly again
Remember how we used to love back then
Livin’ like we had no end
Let’s stay out all night
Out all night until we see the sun
Remember how we used to long ago
We can miss the last train home
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you let our love go cold
When we’re standing still
We can light it up once more
I’ll take you there
[Chorus]
We’ll be running wild
Lovin’ ’til the sun is out
Running ’til there’s nothin’ left
‘Til our last breath
We’ll be running wild
Lovin’ like it’s made for us
Running ’til there’s nothin’ left
‘Til our last breath
We’ll be running wild
[Verse 2]
Don’t forget
Don’t forget about the times we shared
All the places that we used to go
Livin’ like we’ve ruled the world
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you let our love go cold
When we’re standing still
We can light it up once more
I’ll take you there
[Chorus]
We’ll be running wild
Lovin’ ’til the sun is out
Running ’til there’s nothin’ left
‘Til our last breath
We’ll be running wild
Lovin’ like it’s made for us
Running ’til there’s nothin’ left
‘Til our last breath
[Post-Chorus]
We’ll be running wild
We’ll be running wild
We’ll be running wild
We’ll be running wild
We’ll be running wild
