cigarette ash like wildfire burning holes in the nighttime open scars cut like barbed wire white lies flying high like a ceasefire dropping flags on the shoreline this is as far as i can feel right cos what you dont know can haunt you
and all we ever wanted was sunlight and honesty highlights to want to repeat lets get away from here and live like the movies do i wont mind when its over at least i didnt think for a while
so lets run make a great escape and ill be waiting outside for the getaway it doesnt matter who we are well keep running through the dark and all well ever need is another day we can slow down cos tomorrow is a mile away and live like shooting stars cos happy endings hardest to fake
sunsets on power lines making a break for the otherside heading out to where that sun shine 45 millimeter rolling like we lost time polaroids and outcast rather burn out young than grow up fast and we could be forever futurebound cos all i need is time and now and i could leave this past behind me and maybe ill see a way for me to stay when theres so much out there so ill live forgetting for the time being [and all we ever wanted] [was sunlight and honesty] [highlights to want to repeat] [lets get away from here and] [live like the movies do] and i wont mind when its over at least i didnt think for a while
so lets run make a great escape and ill be waiting outside for the getaway it doesnt matter who we are well keep running through the dark and all well ever need is another day we can slow down cos tomorrow is a mile away and live like shooting stars cos everything was never the same
and i want to let you know i want to let you go but i just cant bring myself to speak but this is how it goes the end credits the roll this bridge was built over kerosine but we can watch it [burn down] [we can watch it burn down]
and all i ever wanted was sunlight and honesty highlights to want to repeat lets get away from here and live like the movies do i wont mind when its over at least i didnt think
so lets run make a great escape and ill be waiting outside for the getaway it doesnt matter who we are well keep running through the dark and all well ever need is another day we can slow down cos tomorrow is a mile away and live like shooting stars cos you can wish away forever but youll never find a thing like today
