lyrics

Lately your blue/green eyes have been saying much more than your pretty mouth
Lately your body has been gesturing things you're too afraid to shout
Like someone please come save me
From the pit I've fallen in
It's cold and I am lonely
And I'm so tired of throwing punches at the wind

Lately my blue/orange eyes have changed to shades of cold cranberry red
Lately my body has shut down on me like as if I were dead
And I see no chance of revival
In my heart or in my brain
But when I'm with you I feel stable
So tell me girl, would agree with me that you feel the same?

When then, what if we just ran away
Find the place where east meets west and stay
And what if we were happy there
We could build a world with nothing but tomorrow and each other to call our own

Gas the Wagoneer up and let's leave before the sun can see we're gone
I'll take the first shift while you lay beside me steadily dreaming on
And with some cold coffee in a paper cup
I'm feeling footloose and fancy free
And I don't care really where we end up
Just so long as it's far, far away from St. Louis, Misery

Honey let's just run away
Find the place where east meets west and stay
Cause what if we are happy there
We can build a world with nothing but tomorrow and each other to call our own

Maybe it's way too far fetched
Maybe I'm just dreaming
Or maybe it's just the thing to do
Maybe it's not the safest bet
But sweets I'll keep believing
That when you wish upon a star sometimes it comes true

What if we just run away
Who cares what the people say
We'll be off, alone, unchained and free
With a future with no history
We can build a world with nothing but tomorrow and each other to call our own
