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
