Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm looking at the city down below me

Heaven knows, I made my own surroundings

I'm just getting started, yeah, I know

I'm on my way 'cause this is all about me, 'bout me

Cybernetic system, yeah, I felt like a machine

Doing this, doing that

Taking orders like I'm Winter Soldier (bah-bah!)

Cracked the shell then I fled

I'm running on the edge screaming

"Whoa-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh"

Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning

One little trip, and I know that I'll fall in

Deeper and deeper, I'm thinking, I'm crying

Too many thoughts in my head, gotta let it go (yeah)

I'm chasing that light tonight

Another step on my tightrope

I know that I'll be alright

I won't stop running, I know that I'm becoming

G.O.A.T I'm stunning, let me show the world

I'm feeling edgy, watch me take it all

Come and try to push me off

We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings

G.O.A.T we're stunning, let us show the world

We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all

On the edge we'll never fall 'cause we're the Runners

Hold up, hold my hand 'cause we're taking off

Horizon at the end, yeah, we're gonna touch

'Cause wherever, whoever, whenever, forever

We go zoom, zoom

They say I took an L for challenging myself

But I don't give a hell, I know that I can tell that they are jelly, jelly

Wobbly, I'm on a cliff singing, dancing, grinning

'Cause already I know I can hear the W's (W's)

Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning

One little trip and I know that I'll fall in

Deeper and deeper, I'm thinking, I'm crying

Too many thoughts in my head, gotta let it go (yeah)

I'm chasing that light tonight

Another step on my tightrope

I know that I'll be alright

I won't stop running, I know that I'm becoming

G.O.A.T I'm stunning, let me show the world

I'm feeling edgy, watch me take it all

Come and try to push me off

We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings

G.O.A.T we're stunning, let us show the world

We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all

On the edge we'll never fall 'cause we're the Runners

We're running 'til the end all day and night, we fly

We're running 'til the end all day and night, we fly

We'll all be running, don't care about the warnings

G.O.A.T we're stunning, let us show the world

We're feeling edgy, watch us take it all

On the edge we'll never fall 'cause we're the Runners

(On the edge we'll never fall 'cause we're the Runners)

On the edge we'll never fall 'cause we're the Runners
