Runaway

I know I have earned it
But most days I don't feel like I deserve this
To the victor go the spoils through this mortal coil
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I'll found a permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
Where I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway from the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway from the day
Finally free from the past
How long could a feeling like this last?
The road away from here
Is long but sweet my dear
Oh how the years have been so kind to me
I'll found a permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
Where I can taste the salt on your skin
And feel the sunshine on my face
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway from the day
We're gonna run, gonna run, gonna runaway from the day
We're gonna run
I'll found a permanent place
Where the skies are gold not grey
We're gonna run
We're gonna run
