while the city sleeps

i wanna hear it

just wanna hear you say

we've thought about it for some time

to wait until the moment is just right

to disappear this way

she says

im not ready to believe in this

im not ready to give it all away

but im willing to take the risk

cuz i know it has to be like this

while the city sleeps

we'll make our way thru the night

taking nothing to remind us

while the city sleeps

we'll leave this world behind

hoping they never find us. we'll disappear in the night

as we drive i'm watchin you

i see your tongue dance around your lips

it's no secret i'm nervous too

but i know

it's what we have to do

i'm more than ready to bleed for this

i'm more than ready to throw it all away

cuz my hearts programmed to risk

whatever love it takes

please just take us away

while the city sleeps

we'll make our way thru the night

taking nothing to remind us

while the city sleeps

we'll leave this world behind

hoping they never find us. no one has to know

we'll just get up and go

only guided by the night the stars and the road

with the destination no where

we don't care

as long as it's

anywhere but here

never let them find us

while the city sleeps
