lyrics

The horizon is getting smaller now
And these summer nights are getting lighter
The scene is set for us to leave this town
And the sunlight through the windscreen is getting brighter
And it's a long way until we find our homes
But we don't care, we could drive all night if we want
You're the love of my life, at least i think you are
I tried so hard to give up on you but I can't

I've lost my disguise
I'm leaving home for the first time
Looking back through someone else's eyes
I'm leaving home for the first time

And I'm a liar, when i say i don't care
When i say that i'll never come back home
When life is hard and life is unfair
At least i'll never leave you on your own

I've lost my disguise
I'm leaving home for the first time
Looking back through someone else's eyes
I'm leaving home for the first time

I'm gonna pack this bag and get away from here
I'm gonna leave this town to face my fears
We're gonna drive this car to somewhere new
I'm gonna leave my home and get away with you

I've lost my disguise
I'm leaving home for the first time
Looking back through someone else's eyes
I'm leaving home for the first time

I've lost my disguise
I'm leaving home for the first time
Looking back through someone else's eyes
I'm leaving home for the first time
