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 don't know Can haunt you And all we ever wanted Was sunlight and honesty Highlights to want to repeat Let's get away from here and Live like the movies do I won't mind when it's over At least I didn't think for a while So let's run Make a great escape And I'll be waiting outside for the getaway It doesn't matter who we are We'll keep running through the dark And all we'll ever need is another day We can slow down 'cos tomorrow is a mile away And live like shooting stars 'Cos happy endings are just a phase Sunsets on power lines Making a break for the other side Heading out to where that sunshine 45 millimeter rolling like we lost time Polaroids and outcast Rather burn out young than grow up fast And we could be forever future-bound 'Cos all I need is time and now and I could leave this past behind me And maybe I'll see a way for me to stay When there's so much out there So I'll live forgetting for the time being And I won't mind when it's over At least I didn't think for a while So let's run Make a great escape And I'll be waiting outside for the getaway It doesn't matter who we are We'll keep running through the dark And all we'll 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 can't bring myself to speak But this is how it goes The end credits they roll This bridge was built over kerosene But we can watch it And all I ever wanted Was sunlight and honesty Highlights to want to repeat Let's get away from here and Live like the movies do I won't mind when it's over At least I didn't think So let's run Make a great escape And I'll be waiting outside for the getaway It doesn't matter who we are We'll keep running through the dark And all we'll 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 you'll never find a thing like today
