Run

The streets are crowded And the sidewalks are full The city is filled But yet for us it's dull We have no meaning among millions Yet we stay here still And these peoples judgement is killing us It's like we're held against our will So lets run And run so far away Away from all the people Cause we don't want to stay We will burn down our homes And turn our memories of this place All down to ash And leave without a trace Through fields and forests Through every song and every chorus Passing by every place we want to leave behind Will soon be forgotten and out of mind We'll get matching tattoos of a telephone booth It will be a symbol of our youth Showing that we will never stay in one place Saying that we live our lives at our own pace And we will sleep In beds where no memories lay Yet the comfort will be perfect needless to say And we will find another bed for the next day We're singing without words We're screaming with emotion A silent song that only we can hear A soundless commotion We are alive and we are okay We are free and have nowhere to stay But we prefer our life that way And we have a lifetime to say Lets run And run so far away Away from all the people Cause we don't want to stay And we may shed tears For all of our wasted years Where we were apart But now we're free and our life can start And we can see the world from our own view Seeing everything like it's brand new And we can watch everything with our own eyes All day and night till our body dies Our lives will be endless Filled with grace and happiness This is our life from day until night Because this is what feels right
