"Don't kid yourself," you said to me
We'll pack our bags but never leave this room
We'll never leave this room"
What happened to our plans, our dreams?
We buried them on this small street too soon, too soon
I know you're scared, but so am I
If we never leave, then we'll never try
You and I want to know what we were
Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone
You and I, we won't get rolled under
When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat
You and I want to know we'll make it
Sailing out of this God forsaken town
Before this ship goes down
Let's take a chance and leave tonight
Believe me, dear, we'll be all right, it's true
We'll be all right, it's true
Turn the key and take the wheel
No looking back, this time it's real, with you
Yeah, with you
I know you're scared, but so am I
If we never leave, then we'll never try
You and I want to know what we were
Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone
You and I, we won't get rolled under
When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat
You and I want to know we'll make it
Sailing out of this God forsaken town
Before this ship goes down
We won't go down
This time it's now or never
Forget the map, we've got each other
We won't go down
This time it's now or never
Let's leave this place forever
I know you're scared, but so am I
You and I want to know what we were
Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone
You and I, we won't get rolled under
When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat
You and I want to know we'll make it
Sailing out of this God forsaken town
Before this ship goes down
You and I want to know what we were
Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone
You and I, we won't get rolled under
When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat
You and I want to know we'll make it
Sailing out of this God forsaken town
Before this ship goes down
