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 Oooooohh Oooooohh 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 Oooooohh Oooooohh Oooooohh Oooooohh
