Can we get away? Far away Let's leave this place Will you come with me? Are you down? To turn your world around It's you and me tonight Leave it all behind Let's go for a drive Say goodnight to gravity Hold on to me The passing stars light the way The future's here today It's you and me tonight Leave it all behind In my rocketship, we'll leave the light of day Staying on the turning away There's no tomorrow, just today Together we will follow, fly away Nevermind tomorrow, just today Leave it all behind Let's go for a ride It's you and me tonight Let's go for a ride Leave it all behind Let's go for a ride
