Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will leave tonight
I will take you from this place
Safe and still
The moon is bright
It will guide us on our way
I hope tomorrow never comes
Because tonight were running away
Tonight were running away x3
Say you will
Say goodbye
Its time to go
Meet me at the end of your drive way
Its okay to cry
Its hard I know
Ill be right beside you always
Wait a while they say
I´m tired of waiting of waiting all my life
Its time tonight were running away
Tonight were running away x3
Say you will
Oh you're too young they say
But i´m old enough to know whats right
My love, tonight were running away
Tonight were running away x3
Say you will
Give me your hand
I didn't plan without you
Give me your hand
I couldn't stand without you
