Why don't we...Why don't we Why don't we...Why don't we Take me away Release me from the cage Free me from the pain And let me feel no shame The stars spin circles around the bad times You splashed your water on my fire sign The fortune teller told us to unwind Come on run away Runaway...Runaway...Runaway Why don't we Why don't we I've felt invisible for a long time This town will smother what's left of mine Untaken chances come back to life Come on run away Runaway...Runaway...Runaway I've been I've been all I've been I've been all I've been I've been all around the world dream Let's go free...Let's go free Why don't we...Why don't we You've been saying that you want to go I'm finally ready to let go Let's go...Let's go...Let's go I am finally ready Take me away Release me from the cage Free me from the pain And let me feel no shame Let's go free...Let's go free Runaway
