Runaways
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.
I don't feel like myself anymore
I need to get out of this room today
I know that I've been there before
I'm going again but this time
I'll close my eyes so it's all new
When I'm there with you
So give it away
Make a mistake
Taking a risk for the first time
Riding the line
I'll make it easier for you, you to decide
Stay awake
Don't hit the brakes
There's no time to change our minds
Waiting for you, you to decide
Let's leave and be runaways tonight
Where we're going we don't feel the pain
We'll never be this sad again
We'll find a place where no one knows our names
And you'll feel better, I bet
When I'm ahead I never lose
But I'll wait for you
So give it away
Make a mistake
Taking a risk for the first time
Riding the line
I'll make it easier for you, you to decide
Stay awake
Don't hit the brakes
There's no time to change our minds
Waiting for you, you to decide
Let's leave and be runaways tonight
Everything I see reminds me of you anyway
It's not the same unless you're there
My foot is on the gas
And I'm wide awake and waiting for you, you to decide
Let's leave and be runaways tonight
