[Verse 1]

Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down

Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back

We 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

[Verse 2]

We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time

Seven months of living sweaty 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

[Chorus]

Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true

I'm just learning how to smile and that's not easy to do

I know there will come a day when we can leave

And just go running away

(ooh yeah)

[Verse 3]

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

[Hook]

You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true

I'm just learning how to smile and that's not easy to do

We both live for the day when we can run away

Ah 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

No I will never let it break your heart

No I will never let it break me

[Verse 4]

Five miles outside of Vegas five years down the line

We got married in the desert in the sunshine

I can handle all the hell that happens everyday

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

We are just learning how to fall

And climb back up again

I know there's nothing perfect

I know there's nothing new

We are just learning how to live together

Me and you

You know I live for the day

When you say, "Baby let's just run away"

Ah baby we can leave and run away

Yes we can leave this place and run away

(repeat to fade)
