Besser du rennst English translation
von Subway to Sally

Empty your pockets
Throw everything on the ground
You don’t need the things
That weigh heavy on your coat
You’ve cheated yourself
Out of truth and out of time
That races away so quickly
Your life is only borrowed

You will destroy it all
I can only urge you
It’s time to start anew
It’s time to run

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can carry you


Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
Don’t look back
Maybe you’ll escape someday

Better you run

Say farewell to everything
To the days now past
Let your stars dance
Finally wipe the slate clean

Because now you must risk it all
You shouldn’t carry grief
The world keeps turning
It turns even without you

You will destroy it all
I can only urge you
It’s time to start anew
It’s time to run

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can carry you


Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
Don’t look back
Maybe you’ll escape someday

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run

You will destroy it all
I can only urge you
It’s time to start anew
It’s time to run

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can carry you

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
Don’t look back
Maybe you’ll escape someday

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
And as far
As your breath can carry you

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run
As fast as you can
Don’t look back
Maybe you’ll escape someday

Better you go
Better you walk
Better you run

Better you run
