I met you when we both were just sixteen
You looked at me with blue
Eyes and blue jeans
We danced into the land of kings and queens
But nothing is as perfect as the movies seem

You grabbed my keys
Grabbed my hands said "let's go"
To the place where we both
Can't put on a show, yeah
We'll run out
We'll run till the sun gets low
And enjoy the afterglow

Yet we both go down
And leave this ghost town
We can run into the night
Yet we both hold on and stay up till dawn
We're running to the daylight

I know that we are both just kids with dreams
We look up to the stars on our iPhone screens
I know we look for pics instead of memories
And no one is as perfect as they try to be

You grabbed my keys
Grabbed my hands said "let's go"
To the place where we both
Can't put on a show, yeah
We'll run out
We'll run till the sun gets low
And enjoy the afterglow

Yet we both go down
And leave this ghost town
We can run into the night
Yet we both hold on and stay up till dawn
We're running to the daylight

O-o-o-ooohh o-o-o-ooohh

Yet we both go down
And leave this ghost town
We can run into the night
Yet we both hold on and stay up till dawn
We're running to the daylight

Yet we both go down
And leave this ghost town
We can run into the night
Yet we both hold on and stay up till dawn
We're running to the daylight

O-o-o-ooohh o-o-o-ooohh
O-o-o-ooohh o-o-o-ooohh
