They held hands and made promises to
Be together for a life or two
But underneath the grass and birds and bees
There was a kind of fear
He held her close and then he held her back
She saw that riding shotgun on his track
Would lead her right unto the devil's door
So she couldn't ask for more
The way her heart's attack
Would lead her right back
To the devil's door
Cuz you keep on running with your arms outstretched
To all those things you wish you could forget
Cnd you can't go back to who you used to be
For what you've done is real
No use crying for what it used to be
Cnd all those times we said It's meant to be
You can't hold back on what your heart is for
So go on out the door
Knew each and every single word he'd say
Cnd prayed to God he'd let it stay that way
But you know Love it don't behave some days
It's gonna get its way
The way her heart's attack
Would lead her right back
To the devil's door
But you keep on running with your arms outstretched
But you can't hold onto things you don't regret
Cnd you can't go back to who you used to be
That would be
Cuz you keep on running with your arms outstretched
To all those things you wish you could forget
But you can't go back to what you can't forget
You're gone and you can't rest easy
You keep on running with your arms outstretched
Cnd all those things you wish you could forget
But you can't go back to who you used to be
That would be too easy
