VERSE 1

In a trashy village we were trash
Mama taught me how to smoke
And my best friends dad lived in a trailer

My babysitter had gone awol from Vietnam
Had Harleys, not front teeth, had dirty cash and a tailor

Driftwood kids with nervous tics and shoplift trix and
chappy lips all country sick and set up for failure

PRE 1

Emelie she got grown up kids
at the age of 35
Gabriel he got dope sick
and his dreams are still a child’s

CHORUS

Adrian, have you forgiven me for how I left you in the dirt?
Adrian, have you forgiven yourself and your best friend for taking your girl?
I ran from you and from that dead end town and you didn’t even get a song
I hope that you know now
Why I had to run

(Run run Adrian
Run run Adrian)

VERSE 2

Busking for the weekend
Copenhagen station
There’s a reason I never invited you over

Backpacks in my friends’ apartments
I knew strange men, door men
Don’t you question
But did you ever wonder?

PRE 2

How I knew all them boys downtown
And could hotwire cars without cables
How I could weigh just a hundred pounds
And still drink you under the table?

CHORUS

Adrian, have you forgiven me for how I left you in the dirt?
Adrian, have you forgiven yourself and your best friend for taking your girl?
I ran from you and from that dead end town and you didn’t even get a song
I hope that you know now
Why I had to run

(Run run Adrian
Run run Adrian)

MID 8

Oh Adrian
We never stood a chance
The only thing that I can guarantee you
Is a fist fight at our wedding
And my brother getting hammered
And my daddy’s disastrous daddy daughter dance
I bet your parents never eat in their adidas pants
Don’t think your mama ever smoked under a kitchen fan
I’m the result of a trailer trash romance

CHORUS

Adrian, have you forgiven me for how I left you in the dirt?
Adrian, have you forgiven yourself and your best friend for taking your girl?
I ran from you and from that dead end town and you didn’t even get a song
I hope that you know now
Why I had to run

(Run run Adrian
Run run Adrian)

Masterful songwriting, and in this age. Just wow!

Heard this song live at Scandinavium just a couple days ago.

OMG.

It reminds me of the early 00's, it was a magical song in the arena <3

This is so fucking good, just discovered this song, perfection! Sometimes if youre lucky enough you can still hear good music on the radio :)
