Lyrics
Verse 1
He used to say, "Sunday mornings, white shirts and ties,
Keep your eyes down, don't question why."
Mama said, "Boy, there's danger in a touch,
It's overrated; don’t think too much."
He used to say, "My world is small,
Family pictures on the hallway wall.
Cousins, uncles, grandma's smile,
That's all I know, mile after mile."
PreChorus
But in his dreams, he wondered what's beyond,
A thousand questions, silenced far too long.
Chorus
He said, "Meet me outside these walls,
Let's run away, let's risk it all.
Everything they told us not to know,
We'll find out together, let's just go."
She said, "Hold my hand, we'll rewrite our truth,
Discover all the colors hidden from our youth.
No looking back, eyes open wide,
Tonight, we're free, alive for the first time."
Verse 2
She used to say, "Home was quiet, lessons clear,
Every rule whispered softly in my ear.
Taught to wait, to hide desire,
Afraid to burn, afraid of fire."
But when they met, the silence broke,
Two sheltered hearts finally awoke.
He whispered, "This feeling can't be wrong,
Let's make our own rules, sing our own song."
PreChorus
In their eyes, rebellion sparked a flame,
Two souls realizing love is not a shame.
Chorus
He said, "Meet me outside these walls,
Let's run away, let's risk it all.
Everything they told us not to know,
We'll find out together, let's just go."
She said, "Hold my hand, we'll rewrite our truth,
Discover all the colors hidden from our youth.
No looking back, eyes open wide,
Tonight, we're free, alive for the first time."
Bridge
And the voices echoed loud,
Warnings of sin, turning proud.
But love whispered louder still,
Hearts racing, breaking every will.
"Is this freedom, is this fear?
All I know is you're here."
He said, "We've been blind
But love opened up our eyes."
Breakdown / Soft interlude
He whispers, "Maybe we were innocent,
Maybe they've always been afraid.
Maybe love was never wrong,
Maybe we're brave."
Final Chorus
He said, "Meet me outside these walls,
Let's run away, let's risk it all.
Everything they told us not to know,
We'll find out together, let's just go."
She said, "Hold my hand, we'll rewrite our truth,
Discover all the colors hidden from our youth.
No looking back, eyes open wide,
Tonight, we're free, alive for the first time."
Outro
He used to say, "The world was small,
But love showed me, it's worth it all."
Hand in hand, hearts unbound,
In each other, freedom found.
