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
