Take my hand, walk with me then run for cover
Follow me down to a place made for you and me
Faces in the crowd, you're a person like any other
But if they stare at us, pretend that you can't see
Scream if you must; it's one of those bumpy rides
You'll lose it all if you give up or if you're weak
Feels like it's pulling out and breaking what's inside
From your worst nightmares to your undying dreams

What they don't know can't hurt you
Or that's what you're led to believe
But the world has ways of prying into your soul
Take out everything that you need

Chorus:
Run away with me. Get out of this town
Blend into the silence without making a sound
Run away with me. I know we'll survive
We've got all we need to keep our hopes alive
Run away. Run away. Run away.

So you think we've got a chance to build a home
Where we can live and fix what has come apart
It sounds nice but we live in a danger zone
In this place, we won't have a chance to start
Try all you want; I admire your drive
No wonder I fell the moment you caught my eye
I wanted you to change this meaningless life
And assure me that everything would be all right

(Chorus)

Run away. Bring the curtains down
We're busting out of this stiff, unhappy town
Run away. Say goodbye to everything we once knew
Start over again with nothing but me and you

What they don't know can't hurt you
Or that's what you're led to believe
But the world has ways of prying into your soul
Take out everything that you need

(Chorus)
