Lyrics

I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house
Be gone before the morning comes
I could dye my hair, I could change my name
Leave it all behind, be free to run
When I close my eyes I'm on the other side
I'm like a hurricane along the track
I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind
Beyond the walls which always hold me back
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girl's gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay
The noise of the city and the neon sky
It'll fade with the volume down
But then the quiet gets too close to me
So won't you come and bring me around?
Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes
I don't need it to be true
'Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days
And I know you go there too
Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girl's gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girl's gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay
