Lyrics

VERSE I
My friend, we're going down.
If we just keep treading water,
This wave will drag us under
And out with the tide.
We've got to lose this crowd
Before we lose each other,
So I shall not surrender
Not tonight.

PRECHORUS
One way, we go down fighting
Twenty-one guns as we run for cover.
Another way, we could go out smiling
Either way, we go together.

CHORUS
We're gone.
Turn the headlights on.
We'll race the daybreak out of this place.
Speed up,
Don't you dare stop,
Until the people stop knowing our names,
Until the farms fade into the sea;
Let's go.

VERSE II
My friend, we've made it out:
From frying pan to fire,
Trapeze to tightrope wire--
No safety net.
But I think we're stronger now,
And I feel like taming tigers.
We'll run away and we'll join a circus
Bigger than this.

~ PRECHORUS ~ CHORUS ~

BRIDGE
Let's go, the door is open;
Hold on to me.
I know just where we're going.
Do you believe?

~ PRECHORUS ~

CHORUS II
Light out,
And don't you turn around.
We've come too far to just go back where we came.
Bridges burned--
Point of no return--
'Cause there's no one there who wants us to stay,
And there's nothing left we wanted to save.

~ CHORUS ~
