Matador by Empty Atlas Lyrics

[Intro]
I won’t miss if I just keep on running
When I lose the words, I can keep on humming

[Verse 1]
I thought I was close again
Felt the fabric on my skin
Before it pulled away
And hey, I’m hanging by a thread
And it’s not like I don’t understand
More the slipping through my hands
That’s driving me insane
Today I’m only seeing red

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a bull to the matador
I rush in just like before

[Chorus]
Thinking I won’t miss if I just keep on running
Running, running, keep on running
When I lose the words, I can keep on humming
And I’m humming, and I’m humming
[Verse 2]
Maybe it’s the beast in me
Giving in to boiling blood and gritted teeth
Like if I hit fast enough
They’ll finally see what I can see
When I feel a rush of wind
And I notice I missed again
I’ll get right back on my mark
And make the most of where I’ve been

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a bull to the matador
I rush in just like before

[Chorus]
Thinking I won’t miss if I just keep on running
Running, running, keep on running
When I lose the words, I can keep on humming
And I’m humming, and I’m humming

[Bridge]
Find my feet on the ground (but if I move fast enough)
Nothing’s slowing me down (nothing slowing)
Find my feet on the ground (but if I move fast enough)
Nothing’s slowing me down (nothing slowing)
I won’t miss if I just keep on running
When I lose the word, I can keep on humming

[Chorus]
And I won’t miss if I just keep on running
Running, running, keep on running
When I lose the words, I can keep on humming
And I’m humming, and I’m humming

[Outro]
And I find my target, kick the dirt, rub some in it when it hurts
I won’t miss if I just keep on running
(But if I move fast enough)
I won’t miss if I just keep on running
(Nothing slowing)
