2.- Lyrics

"Children, behave!"

That's what they say when we're together

"And watch how you play!"

They don't understand


(Pre Chorus)

And so we're running just as fast as we can

Holding on to one another's hand

Trying to get away into the night

And then you put your arms around me

As we tumble to the ground and then you say


(Chorus)

I think we're alone now

There doesn't seem to be anyone around

I think we're alone now

The beating of our hearts is the only sound


Look at the way

We gotta hide what we're doing

'Cause what would they say

If they ever knew?


(Repeat Pre Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus x3)

Be running up that road

Be running up that hill

Be running up that building

If I only could..."


You don't want to hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies

There is thunder in our hearts

For the ones we love?

Tell me

Don't we?

Won't be unhappy
