"Run!" lyrics

"Run!"

Come see the big world through Jesse's eyes
A wild one, she always knew she'd trade her
Small town for city lights, oh
She had her heart set on centre stage
She worked hard, saving her pennies for her
Big shot, the great escape, oh

Air guitar in an old garage
Can you hear her?
Can you hear her?
And the story goes if you listen close
You can hear her
She's singing

I just wanna run
Out of the darkness, eye on the target
Aiming for the sun
Stand in the fire, and if I get tired
I ain't givin' up
So don't you give up on me
I just wanna run
I just wanna run

Now there's a few years in Jesse's eyes
She's so tired, mile after mile she's on the
Long road to paradise, oh

Doubt is creeping in and she's wondering
Can you hear her?
Can you hear her?
But the story goes, if you listen close
You can hear her
She's singing

I just wanna run
Out of the darkness, eye on the target
Aiming for the sun
Stand in the fire, and if I get tired
I ain't givin' up
So don't you give up on me
I just wanna run
I just wanna run
I just wanna run

Miles and miles beneath my feet
So don't let go, hold onto me
No, there may be no stopping me this time
I'm singing

I just wanna run
Out of the darkness, eye on the target
Aiming for the sun
Stand in the fire, and if I get tired
I ain't givin' up
So don't you give up on me
I just wanna run
Run
I just wanna run
