[Verse 1]

The drive to be someone you're not (Be someone you're not, be someone you're not)

Chased desert dreams in hopes I'm not forgotten (I'm not forgotten)

[Pre-Chorus]

I told myself that I was doing the right thing

Faked everything, faked everything I'm not

[Chorus]

Red clouds come down

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

Red clouds all around

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

[Verse 2]

I remember how badly I wanted to be here

Now I'm just scared

Unveiled destiny

Miles apart from me

[Pre-Chorus]

I told myself that I was doing the right thing

Faked everything, faked everything I'm not

[Chorus]

Red clouds come down

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

Red clouds all around

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning

Red clouds come down

Won't you take me away?

Won't you take me away?

[Bridge]

My intention to be better than you thought I could be

Ended up getting caught up in the life I never thought I ever would be

They say they "told me so"

But how could I have ever known?

Well now I know better (Know better)

I'll never be your prisoner (Prisoner)

I hoped you knew me better (Knew me better)

I am my own prisoner

[Chorus]

Red clouds come down

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

Red clouds all around

Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)

'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning

Red clouds come down

Won't you take me away?

Won't you take me away?
