[Verse:]There's a lightning in your eyes, I can't denyThen there's me inside a sinking boat, running out of timeWithout you I'll never make it out aliveBut I know, yes I know we'll be alright There's a devil in your smile it's chasing meAnd every time I turn around it's only gaining speedThere's a moment when you finally realizeThere's no way you can change the rolling tideBut I know, yes I know that I'll be fine

[Chorus:]This time I'm ready to runEscape from the city and follow the sunCause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the nightThis time I'm ready to runWherever you are is the place I belongCause I wanna be free, and I wanna be youngI will never look back now I'm ready to runI'm ready to run

[Verse 2:]There's a future in my life I can't foreseeUnless of course I stay on course and keep you next to meThere will always be the kind that criticizeBut I know, yes I know we'll be alright

[Chorus:]This time I'm ready to runEscape from the city and follow the sunCause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the nightThis time I'm ready to runWherever you are is the place I belongCause I wanna be free, and I wanna be youngI will never look back now I'm ready to runI'm ready to run

[Bridge:]This time I'm ready to runI'd give everything that I've got for your love

[Chorus:]This time I'm ready to runEscape from the city and follow the sunCause I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine?I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the nightThis time I'm ready to runWherever you are is the place I belongCause I wanna be free, and I wanna be youngI will never look back now I'm ready to runI'm ready to run
