She's seventeen
And gets to thinking
About Prom Queen and partying

Can't get her head on straight
But has to try before it's too late
But I don't think she has a chance

I know you, you know me
But you're too proud to show me
The way you really see the world

I'm here to help
And I'm sure it feels like hell
Come take my hand we'll fly away to promised lands

What are you running from?
Why can't you just see that this through?
When you're lost in life I will try
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try
To find you

Please believe
That we aren't just here
Sitting watch you do your thing

You want to scream, but
Those chains they hold you down
And I won't wait to get you off the ground

Free to look forward to what is at hand
If there's something to ask
It's too short for a regret

People make mistakes
And I'm here to lead the way
To see you spread your wings

What are you running from?
Why can't you just see this through?
When you're lost in life I will try
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try
To find you

What are you running from?
Why can't you just see this through?
When you're lost in life I will try
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try
To find you

What are you running from?
Why can't you just see this through?
When you're lost in life I will try
Oh, I'll try, yeah, I'll try
To find you
