kick it into gear.
just go.
take us far away,
where none of this can touch us.

take me to the great white north
i know you hate the cold,
but i swear i'll keep you warm.


take me to the coast
i know the sea makes me sad,
but i promise to keep smiling for you


take me far away.

take me to the forests of the east
i know you'll never quite understand
what it means to me, but i'll try
to help you see


take me to a ranch out west
you may never get me out of the fields
where the horses run,
but you'll never see me so alive anywhere else.


take me far away

i want to feel the sun on my face,
a warm mane beneath my fingers
the dirt between my toes,
and the sea crashing around my ankles.

i want to hear the roar of the waves,
the soft whuffing exhale from a stallion,
birds singing in the trees,
and the keening howl of the wolves.

just take me far, far away

away from him,
and all the nightmares he left me with,
the fears he left in my mind.

away from her,
and all the thoughts she drags to my mind,
the things she makes me feel.

just take me far away
away from here.

start the car,
and just drive
