Do you remember me, back when you were young?
The night we met at the boathouse
I was hoping you noticed me
And I still believe in another life we were meant to be
Like two birds on a desert tree
'Cause we could all get a little high if we want
We could all get a little high if we want, come on
Ah, come on
'Cause I'm running scared
Hey, and I'm running scared
Oh, I'm running scared
And I'm running scared
Oh, don't look back
Don't look back, hey
Oh, don't look back
Don't look back, hey
'Cause I'm borderline, mentally unstable
Sweep it under the table, yeah
And these Bedouin eyes
We were meant to be in a different time
Everything is a warning sign
'Cause we can all live a better life if we want
We can all live a better life if we want, come on
Ah, come on
'Cause I'm running scared
Hey, and I'm running scared
Oh, I'm running scared
And I'm running scared
Oh, don't look back
Don't look back, hey
Oh, don't look back
Don't look back, hey
'Cause we could all get a little high if we want
We could all get a little high if we want, come on
Yeah, we can all live a better life if we want
We can all live a better life if we want, come on
'Cause we could all get a little high if we want
We could all get a little high if we want, come on
'Cause I'm running scared
Hey, and I'm running scared
Oh, I'm running scared
And I'm running scared
'Cause I'm running scared
Hey, and I'm running scared
Oh, I'm running scared
And I'm running scared
