Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on, let's get away
(Hey) We can go missing, missing a million miles away
(Oh yeah) We can go missing, missing
Come on, let's get away (baby)
We can go missing, missing a million miles away
We can go missing, missing (oh yeah)

Oh, I wanna be the first to tell you
Your heart's down low, heart's down low, yeah
Oh, but I'ma be the first to bring you
A brand new show, brand new show

I'm holding a sign up in the seas, babe
Come on, let's get away
Day tripping, you're mine, you'll be impressed, babe
A million miles away

Baby, I'm not the type that goes to extremes
Makes sense, baby, makes sense
I think that, baby, you and me could reroute the scene
Makes sense, baby, makes sense
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing (Makes sense, baby)
And they won't find a trace of us
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing (Makes sense, baby)(Hey)
And they won't find a trace of us

Oh, I think it's time I finally told you
You raise my flag, raise my flag
Oh, a perfect state of (Ibifornia)
Can't look back, won't look back, yeah

I'm holding a sign up in the seas, babe
Come on, let's get away
Day tripping, you're mine, you'll be impressed, babe
A million miles away

Baby, I'm not the type that goes to extremes
Makes sense, baby, makes sense, baby
I think that, baby, you and me could reroute the scene
Makes sense, baby, makes sense
But we could go missing, missing, missing (hey)
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing (Makes sense, baby) (Hey)
And they won't find a trace of us
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing
We could go missing, missing, missing (Makes sense, baby)(Hey)
And they won't find a trace of us

This is a long life and our love is strong (We always come back)
We always come back, won't be missing long (You won't miss us too long)
This is a long life and our love is strong
We always come back
One day, we'll be back home

Woah

Come on, let's get away
Come on, let's get away




A million miles away
Come on, let's get away
