[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine a place where you don't gotta be scared
To fall in in love (to fall in love)
Baby I can show you, better than I can tell you
You gotta just trust
[Chorus]
Let's run away (let's run away)
And never look back (let's run away)
Let's run away (let's run away)
What you think about that?
We're leaving tonight, ay
Run with me, run with me, run with me
We're leaving tonight, ay
Run with me, run with me, run with me
[Verse 2]
Lost without your touch, just us
Let's take a walk to Central Park, baby yeah
Maybe we can fly to the stars
No matter where we are
[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine a place where you don't gotta be scared
[Chorus]
Let's run away
And never look back
Let's run away
What you think about that? Yeah
Let's run away (let's run away)
And never look back ((?))
Let's run away (ah, would you live like that?)
What you think about that?
[Chorus]
Let's run away (come with me, come with me)
Let's run away (come with me, come with me)
Let's run away (come with me, come with me)
[Outro]
Let's run away
Yeah, yeah
Run with me, run with me

Don’t be scared, I’m not the same
He did you wrong, I know the pain
I treat you right, so take my hand
Let’s leave tonight, I got a plan

Imagine a place where you don’t gotta be scared
To fall in in love (To fall in love)
Baby I can show you, better than I can tell you
You gotta just trust

And never look back (Let’s run away)
Let’s run away (Let’s run away)

Let’s take a walk to Central Park
Or we can fly up to the start
We can do whatever our hearts decide
‘Cause ain’t nobody putting out our fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine a place where you don’t gotta be scared
To chase your dreams (To chase your dreams)
Baby I can show you, better than I can tell you
Just follow me (Baby, just follow me)

Let’s run away (Let’s run away)
And never look back ([?])
Let’s run away (Ah, would you live like that?)
What you think about that? (Whoa)
We’re leaving tonight, ay
Run with me, run with me, run with me
We’re leaving tonight (We’re leaving tonight)
Run with me, run with me, run with me
