"If you can fly don't stop at the sky [when] there are footprints on the moon." - Adam Young


Drop in through open skies
Cold hands and starry nights
The moon caresses the clouds
Dreamscape oasis underground

The trees swoon
And the waves follow suit
The game they play
In high-tailed pursuit

Feel the breeze off the ocean
See the lights
Fires screaming in the late june night
Come in close, relax your breath, and hold on tight

I'm running away
To vacations and holidays
Bright new days will follow us
And chase the dark clouds away
So hold on tight

We're on our way, down the road
To sensational overglow
I spread my wings
And let the skies overflow over me

The moon always seems too small
For our big city dreams
And the trees much too tall
To see the star-paved galaxies

Our hearts warmer than the summer sun
Sewing memories and we've only just begun
We just bat our eyes because we know: life's just half the fun
Come in close, relax your breath, and hold on tight

I'm running away
To vacations and holidays
Bright new days will follow us
And chase the dark clouds away
So hold on tight

Off we go
Sailing on our dreams
Our open hearts and open minds
Open up our eyes to all this beauty
And i want to spend the rest of my life
Chasing the skies
Changing the world
Changing our lives
So hold on tight

I'm running away
To vacations and holidays
Bright new days will follow us
And chase the dark clouds away
So hold on tight


The author's comments:
These lyrics were inspired by wanting to escape. The first verse describes a surreal oasis while the second verse is about the escaping and leaving the real world.
