Ready To Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a lightning in your eyes, I can't deny
Then there's me inside a sinking boat
Running out of time
Without you, I'll never make it out alive
But I know, yes, I know, we'll be alright
There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me
And every time I turn around, it's only gaining speed
There's a moment when you finally realize
There's no way you can change the rolling tide
But I know, yes, I know that I'll be fine
This time I'm ready to run (oh, oh)
Escape from the city and follow the Sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (oh, oh)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free and I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
There's a future in my life I can't foresee
Unless, of course, I stay on course and keep you next to me
There will always be the kind that criticize
But I know, yes, I know, we'll be alright
This time I'm ready to run (oh, oh)
Escape from the city and follow the Sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (oh, oh)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free and I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
This time I'm ready to run (ready to run)
I'd give everything that I've got for your love
This time I'm ready to run
Escape from the city and follow the Sun
'Cause I wanna be yours
Don't you wanna be mine?
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
This time I'm ready to run (this time I'm ready to run)
Wherever you are is the place I belong
'Cause I wanna be free and I wanna be young
I will never look back, now I'm ready to run
