I've been thinking of running to Cape Town
Or anywhere for that matter
All that matters
is getting away from disaster

Run away somewhere they don't know my name
where I can forget and dream away the pain
The place it's all the same.
Feel new air and take deep breaths.
Bustle and hustle in new relaxed ways.
Talk the nights away with my friends.

I would run away -away is the key word-
because this is too much to take
give me another blackout from tough reality
another sweet oblivion, forgetting and forgiving

So I am not moving from here.
but as soon as I can, I will get free
from my boundaries and my ache
and I will fly somewhere
I can start again, with or without you
I just need myself.
