We Ain't Ready - Tor Miller

You want me to be the daddy

We’re both just kids

No, known mortality

Wanna move us all into the valley

Grow up quick

And start a family

But every night since we let it slip

I keep on running, keep on running

Out of the suburbs and off of the grid

I keep on running, keep on running

Till no one can find me

We ain’t ready

We ain’t ready to start a home

We ain’t ready

Let me call this what you won’t

It was one late night

Our breath was laced with whiskey fire

Took that chance and

Then we tripped the wire

But it ain’t right

We’re way too young to feel so tired

Took that chance

Not knowing that the cost was higher

I see you running up my doorstep

Raising hell

But my folks don’t know yet

We can’t just move into the basement

Without paying rent

Not on this paycheck

Every night since we let it slip

I keep on running, keep on running

Out of the suburbs and off of the grid

I keep on running, keep on running

Till no one can find me

But we ain’t ready

We ain’t ready to start a home

No, we ain’t ready

Let me call this what you won’t

It was one late night

Our breath was laced with whiskey fire

Took that chance

And then we tripped the wire

But it ain’t right

We’re way too young to feel so tired

Took that chance

Not knowing that the cost was higher

I’m more scared every day

For what comes next

And what people might say

But this marks the first day

Of the end of our lives

But it won’t change the way

I feel about you

I wanna run away without you

All along, thought I was good natured

And stayed but now I know

I’m just a coward, baby

I ain’t ready

I ain’t ready to start a home

No, I ain’t ready

To raise one of my own
