Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, la-la-la-la-la
Yeah, yeah
We dance and sing
Somewhere in between heaven and hell
Gabrielle, that was her name
[Verse 2]
Everyone was smiling
Even through their tears
Under a spell
But in Gabby's eyes, nothing
[Verse 3]
I asked, do you not like the music?
She says it's alright
But she dances to her own sad tune, she says
[Verse 4]
Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don't care where we go long as I'm there with you
Baby
Long as I'm there with you
[Verse 5]
I could tell
She's been through pain I could only dream
Nightmares that live where you live
Tears well in her eyes
But she wouldn't let them fall
[Verse 6]
I'd give the world to know where her smile is
I asked, will you dance with me now?
Let me try to figure out
The fastest route out of town
And she says
[Verse 7]
Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don't care where we go long as I'm there with you
Baby
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
I got a full tank of gas, girl
Anywhere you wanna go, girl
All you have to do is ask, girl
Oh, she says
[Verse 9]
Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don't care where we go long as I'm there with you
Baby
Come on and take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don't care where we go long as I'm there with you
