For Good

You were looking pretty low,
To find me where you did.
I asked if there was some mistake
That put you at my side;
A face like yours just can’t belong
Where the broken go to hide.

I’m not one to look for signs,
But your story was the same as mine,
So many times.
Our hearts had always passed us by,
And left us with regret
We’d ever tried.

Chorus
Babe, let’s find a way to stay awake;
We can’t afford to miss the night we met!
Hey, let’s fly away from circumstance.
We’re all we need to drift away
To a place that I call second chance,
Where our dreams can always last,
Where the past stays in the past
For good.

Tears don’t have to last forever
In places like this,
Where dreams find a way to carry on.
Let’s make us a memory
To erase all the old;
We don’t need what we’ve left so far
Behind.

Tomorrow will be a better day
We’re going far away
From everything that once stood
In our way.

Chorus

Take my hand, and we can get away
To the place I’ve saved for you,
Where we won’t have to face another day
Dejected and confused,
Our hearts afraid to choose,
Afraid to get away
For good.

Chorus

Where our dreams can always last,
Where the past stays in the past
For good.
