Run run run away
The fire’s coming, let’s escape
Take my hand we’ll run right through
It's me, my love, just me and you
Through the onlookers who gave us hell
It’s only me who knows you so well
I’ll pull you over those leaps and bounds
Cover your ears, drown out their sounds
Protests and cries, we’ve heard it all before
Let’s run run run my love, through that empty door
The fire’s coming they’re trying to burn us down
No way no how when our feet is off the ground
Don’t let go you’re slipping again
Don’t give up, I’m your best friend
Trust me because I’ll always be true
Run, my love, I’ll always run with you
The fire’s burning, this is our last chance
You won’t budge, let’s just stay here and dance
Sway and sway and hold each other close
We’ll dance through the flames because that’s what you chose
Feel the heat and the flames while we still can
Our bodies blistered, you still hold my hand
Run run run my love, I’ll run away from here
You can come with me, there’s air for us there
Love and fire that doesn’t burn our hands
Alright, okay, I’ll stay here and dance
I’ll be the one to know when it’s time
To run from you, this is no fantasy of mine
Run run run my love, I wish you would too
Let it live in the fire, let it burn away with you
