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 got for your love

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 (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
