He's been tired, tired of the way she holds him down

But he's too worn out to ever say how he really feels

So he goes through the days and nothing ever happens

And she hopes nothing will but she knows he'll never be happy



And he knows he can't pretend anymore

She thinks he fine but he dreams at night, of so much more



And he dreams alright, dreams about the day he can leave this life

But the time's not right, this town is everything that he's seen

So now tonight he's packing up he's moving away

And for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in his way 



So he drives all night nothing phases him anymore

And at the first sunlight he stops the car and opens the door

And the tears they come, deeper now than in the past

It's like his first sunrise and nothing ever happened so fast



And she knows that now he's really gone for good

Back at home all she can do is wish that she could



And she dreams alright, dreams about the day she can leave this life

But the time's not right, this town is everything that she's seen

So now tonight she's packing up and moving away

And for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in her way



And you dream alright, dream about the day you can leave this life

But the time's not right, this town is everything that you've seen

So now tonight you can pack up and move away

And for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in your way
