Wake me up
when we get there.
I’m so tired
of the race.
Tonight we run
in the darkness.
Finally,
we can escape.
We cut our teeth
on the sorrow.
We made our fate
in the rain.
We put away
for tomorrow
and I’d
do it all
over again;
with you.
Up ahead
is a good sign.
It shows
we are making
our way.
I’ll rest my eyes
while you drive.
Just get me
out of today.
Let’s leave it all
behind us.
Let’s set our sights
to the stars.
Let’s get away
to where they’ll never find us,
and I’d
do it all
over again;
with you.
I can feel you speed up.
It’s like we’re breaking gravity.
You don’t need to let up.
This is how we get free from insanity.
Put the space between us
and all that we have ever been.
No one will believe us
when we tell them
that we broke free.
Wake me up
when we get there.
Anywhere but here.
I’ve been alive,
but only in daydreams.
Somewhere,
anywhere out there,
is the truth.
We had our hearts
in the darkness.
We suffered lonely in pain.
Breaking free
feels incredible;
I’d do it all
over again,
with you.
