lyrics
[LYRICS]
Wake up...
Maybe we’re young, Maybe we’re crazy
Out on the freeway
I’m running away with you
Maybe we’re lost, maybe we’re foolish,
i’m gonna prove it, running away from you
All this time, I’m somebody else
I’ve been playing the good girl
denying myself
I’ve been outta my heart, so lost in my head
Half dead, I said, what the world expected
All this time, I’m somebody else
I’ve been playing the good girl
denying myself
I’ve been outta my heart, so lost in my head
Half dead, I said, what the world expected
I wanna run
I wanna run away
Kick off my shoes
Got nothing to lose anyway
I wanna run
I wanna run away
Kick off my shoes
Got nothing to lose anyway
Maybe it’s youth, maybe it’s danger
Dancing with strangers
Running away with you
All this time, I’m somebody else
I’ve been playing the good girl
denying myself
I’ve been outta my heart, so lost in my head
Half dead, I said, what the world expected
All this time, I’m somebody else
I’ve been playing the good girl
denying myself
I’ve been outta my heart, so lost in my head
Half dead, I said, what the world expected
I wanna run
I wanna run away
Kick off my shoes
Got nothing to lose anyway
I wanna run
I wanna run away
Kick off my shoes
Got nothing to lose anyway

This is a great compilation! However, what's with the hyper-politicized track 5 and its “extremist” lyrics??—totally out of place (hypocritical for a traditional Christmas context) and that'll be dropped from my playlist. exsurgo
