We sat on a bench at a small park
A flower in her hair like the postcard
That we sent to her parents out of Denmark
When we left everything behind for a new start
We both knew we were so young
She was sipping on a cherry coke with her hair in a loose bun
Hanging her legs out the window, feet in the sun
We were driving down 43 in a car we had stolen
Now we're singing
After we left it was perfect
No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no
The sky was endless, our miles infinite
We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no
Our hotel had a nice view
She was sitting on the balcony with a glass full of ice cubes
Looking at the midnight skyline when all the lights grew
She would watch the planes fly by, but she was my view
Now we're singing
After we left it was perfect
No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no
The sky was endless, our miles infinite
We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no
We are so far away, la la la la la la la
After we left it was easy, la la la la
We are so far away, la la la la la la la
Getting away was no mistake, la la la la
We are so far away, la la la la la la la
After we left it was easy, la la la la
We are so far away, la la la la la la la
Getting away was no mistake, la la la la
After we left it was perfect
No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no
The sky was endless, our miles infinite
We grabbed our passports and flew from home (We grabbed our passports and flew from home)
We grabbed our passports and flew from home (We grabbed our passports and flew from home)
We had to get away from our home
We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no
