Let's take a chance,
go far away today,
never look back again.
Baby, if I left, would you leave with me?

You're the only one keeping me
here anymore.
We'll get a head start on the sun,
disappear into the night.
Let's use the lights of L.A.
as our guiding star.

We'll make this whole town talk
but we'll be too far gone to hear.
Do you think we could?

I'll promise to never turn back,
if you'll follow that thin white line.
Would you go all the way with me?

We've got our backs against this dead end,
it's just us against the road.
There has to be a better place,
where skies are blue,
and the dreams we dared to dream,
we can make come true.

Baby, will you leave with me now?
Cause I don't know how much longer
'till the dream leaves without me.

Everclear: Learning How to Smile

Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down,
Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back.
Got all drunk and sloppy on a greyhound bus.
We passed out, all them losers they were laughing at us.
I will never let them break your heart,
No I will never let them break me.

We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time.
Seven months of living swimming on those thin white lines.
Did some time for selling acid to the wrong guy,
Life just keeps on getting smaller and we never ask why.

Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true.
I'm just learning how to smile,
That's not easy to do.
I know there will come a day
When we can leave and just go running away.

We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came.
I was working in New Jersey, hitching rides in the rain,
You was happy talking dirty at that phone sex place.
Life just keeps on getting weirder for us every day.

You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true.
We're just learning how to smile,
That's not easy to do.
We both live for the day
When we can run away.

Oh baby we can leave and run away,
Yes we can leave this place and run away.
We can leave it all behind like we do every time.
Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave and just go running away.

Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line,
We got married in the desert and the sunshine.
I can't handle how the hell it happens every day,
When you smile and touch my face,
You make it all just go away.

Yes I know there ain't no finish line, I know this never ends,
But I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again.
I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new.
We're just learning how to live together, me and you.
You know I live for the day
When you say baby lets just run away.

Excuse her if she laughs too much,
she's just nervous and afraid.
She's never seen this side of you,
never felt the warmth of words.

Excuse her if she looks away,
her eyes, they tend to stare,
but she's no fool, no, not her,
her conscience wouldn't dare...

to allow soft words fly.
Her lips are firm,
her walls are strong,
but her eyes, they want to cry.

So excuse her if she falls for you,
you tripped her up, you see.
All that kindness would surely kill,
she's dead to apathy.
