There are articles spread across the wall
Buildings in picture displays
Headline says the great escape
And he can't help thinking
Why am I here 
Yeah what do I do

Conflict between his head 

And his heart

He used to draw pictures 

Which he thought was art

Comments said otherwise

They said he should give up

That's when he wished he would just die

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here

He started to write down lines
That sprung from his mind
He was saying things he didn't quite understand
But that's when somebody else said
She said I see what you're saying
And I tend to feel that way to
I've had all these mixed emotions
But I won't give up on you
You got a gift
A way with words
You're a modern day poet
I just think you should know it
That is what she said
And he was thinking

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here

He asked her, what are her future plans?
She said I've always wanted to be an actress
Everyone said I was not good enough
And that I should just give up
He looked deep into her eyes
And said I believe in you
You can achieve anything you want to
She smiled back his way
And said that's the sweetest thing
Anybody has ever said to me
That's the most precious gift
Another person's belief
and he said

Hey, Bae
Hey, Bae
Let's run away to L.A.
Yeah honey
You got big city dreams
And I've got a plan
Let's go catch a plane
And get the hell out of here
