Lyrics
Lately I've been so naïve
So off and that's just so not me
I wish I could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
I'll be your Joel, if you'll be my Clementine
And we'll run away to a secret place in the back of my mind
And we'll hide like bandits because no one else understands us
Just you and me and our memories and this felony we call romance
And we'll slow dance in the street, hold hands as we sleep
Cuddled up in the back seat of the getaway car, ain't a better place I'd rather be
But right here right now with you
Counting the stars through raindrops on the moon roof
Wishing for us everytime they shoot
And in daylight when the rain dries, we'll ride off in the sunrise
Just two lost souls with hearts of gold, one bag of clothes and no sense of time
And I'll take you to places that you've gone in your dreams
If you take me to places that you've already seen, so…
Let's pack our bags, top the tank
Chang our names and never look back
Take a road no one knows
Find ourselves and lose our clothes
And if ever this newfound life grows mediocre and tainted
We'll move on to the next stop, set up shop
We could both benefit from changes because
Lately I've been so naïve
So off and that's just so not me
I wish I could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
Lately you've been so confused
So lost and that's just so not you
I wish we could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
I'll be your Johnny, if you'll be my June
And we'll sing along to the simple songs that keep our hearts in tune
And pardon me if I'm out key
But a part of me finds it hard to breathe
When all we need is us
One six string and tour bus
So, we'll travel this land
Like we know it like the back of our hands
And we'll trace this coast
Until the time that we can ride it with our eyes closed
And time froze in that moment
Felt a heartbeat in the hand I'm holding
Like "I don't know, but I suppose
That this is love or so I'm told"
Because I've never been, but I've had some friends
And I've seen some films and they always end
But I wanna be the one exception
No sets, no directors
We'll let this road direct us
And if you're too cold in Cali, I got some friends over in Texas, so…
Let's pack our bags, top the tank
Chang our names and never look back
Take a road no one knows
Find ourselves and lose our clothes
And if ever this newfound life grows mediocre and tainted
We'll move on to the next stop, set up shop
We could both benefit from changes because
Lately I've been so naïve
So off and that's just so not me
I wish I could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
Lately you've been so confused
So lost and that's just so not you
I wish we could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
I'll be your Kevin Arnold, if you'll be my Winnie Cooper
And we can run like kids in love and never think about our future
And do whatever we wish, live in love without limits
And even though I missed your first, I'll still save you my last kiss
So we'll find a place where the butterflies reside
And the smiles on our face never fade or try to hide
Because we're too old to just grow up
Too young to feel so stuck
Too free to be schemed by these dreams that they sold us
When they told us, we listened
And somethings always been missing
But lately that ain't living
So, it's time we try something different
Like change the states on our plates, cut the brake lines and just ride
We can either take turns or I'll drive
Either way I'll save a place by my side, so…
Let's pack our bags, top the tank
Chang our names and never look back
Take a road no one knows
Find ourselves and lose our clothes
And if ever this newfound life grows mediocre and tainted
We'll move on to the next stop, set up shop
We could both benefit from changes because
Lately I've been so naïve
So off and that's just so not me
I wish I could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
Lately you've been so confused
So lost and that's just so not you
I wish we could run away
Far away from this place, clean slate
