Lyrics

Take me to the hills
To watch that sunset fall behind
Its better than the pills
A bitter swallow every time
Every now and then I need to get away
From this daily grind, my checked-out mind
A little change in pace
Take my hand, I'll show you where I go
For a little food for thought, so come take a walk
In this place I roam
Every time I leave to try and face this world alone
There's this part of me, it takes me straight back home
So take me to the hills
To watch that sunset fall behind
Its better than the pills
A bitter swallow every time
This ain't about the things I've done
Or what it is you think I'm running from
Its about the place where I can breathe
So take me to the hills
Do you ever feel the need to just run away
Like you've lost your mind, just need more time
A place to escape
Come on, I'll show you where I go
Its like a legal high, makes you feel alive
Like nothing else I know
No matter where I've been, or who I've met along the way
Once you see those views, I know you're gonna stay
So take me to the hills
To watch that sunset fall behind
Its better than the pills
A bitter swallow every time
This ain't about the things I've done
Or what it is you think I'm running from
Its about the place where I can breathe
So take me to the hills
It aint about the things that I've done
Or what it is you think I'm running from
Its about the place where I can breathe
That special place that sets me free
So take me to the hills
Come on and take me to the hills
