Diamonds
Illy Lyrics

Let's run away together//
Suggesting a desire to leave behind the mundane life and embark on a new adventure with someone.

Even if things don't happen on schedule, it is always better to start a new journey whenever possible.

to be on our way//

don't need a map, just follow the track//
Emphasizing the importance of trusting intuition and following one's inner voice over pre-planning.

diamond cuts a diamond//
