I, was waiting all my life to know you
All about you
And now, I'm staring in your eyes and shake down
I'm all about you
And in our mind it comes so easily
But it's a feeling coming over me
I want to show you but there's no where we can really be free
Everybody's watching

Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run
With you, don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer, into the sun,
We will run

I try, to remember when I was just a child
In my room
My, imagination used to run wild
But I never knew
That things are never as they seem to be
When I dream to life, it's my reality
It should be easy when 2 people love each other, like we
Everybody's talking

Wouldn't it be good if we could be together?
Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run
With you, don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer, into the sun,
We will run

We
Will run
Woah wo wo, wo
We
Will run
Oh ya ya ya

Wouldn't it be good if they would understand us?
Wouldn't it be good if we could be together!!
(Take me away) Take me away
Take me far away from here and I will run,
With you
Don't be afraid
Navigate, and I will steer into the sun
We will run

I will run
I will run with you wherever you go
Don't be afraid
Let's run away and I will steer into the sun
We will, run!
