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've got for your love

This time I'm ready to run
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)
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
