I wrote this song about long distance friendship. My friend who lived thousands of miles away was going through a really tough time, and I felt like I couldn’t help them enough just through our messages, and so this song was born.
Can we go somewhere that's a little bit quieter
Than it is in our heads, than it is in our heads?
Ever since I've met you, I've been a little bit wilder
But that goes unsaid, but that goes unsaid
Won't you run away?
I know you're not happy in that place that you stay
So take my hand
We'll run away from monsters and mayhem
'Cause I am
An expert at saving - it's how I saved myself
Don't you know how much your eyes light up with stars?
Don't you know you're my lighthouse when it gets dark?
Don't you know how much you make me smile?
You say you're not worth much
But I think you're worth much more than my while
Won't you run away?
I know you're not happy in that place that you stay
So take my hand
We'll run away from monsters and mayhem
'Cause I am
An expert at saving - it's how I saved myself
It's how I saved myself
And it's hard sometimes
I'm weak and you're so full of it (?)
I want to wrap you in my arms and
Tell you everything's gonna be okay (okay)
We're gonna be okay (okay)
Oh, we're gonna be okay (okay)
We're gonna be okay
Take my hand
We'll run away from monsters and mayhem
'Cause I am
An expert at saving - it's how I saved myself
Won't you run away
With me?
