lyrics

I say we should stay
your eyes stare away
no more playin' wicked games
watch me takin' the highway

I say we should stay
your eyes stare away
no more playin' wicked games
watch me takin' the highway

Haven't you thought enough
don't you ever stop
watching over you
well I, I'm not blaming you

Have I messed your mind
did I stay behind
watching over you
now, You tell me what to do

What's wrong with me right now
a king without a crown
talking to my girl without her turning
back around

so what's this all about
my mood I'm wrecking down
this party is up and started
but I feel I'm not allowed

Don't stare away tonight
just tell me it's alright
we'll leave this place in time
to live again this perfect lie

we'll throw the rules away
we're turning on the game
tonight we break the frame
tonight we break the frame

I will switch off the lights
and shut the door behind
don't wanna see no more
of your crooked smile

taking the highway now
tired of your noise, somehow
got still some road ahead
but all the time to spend

your silly blonde hair tips
the knocking of your heels
the colour of your lips
seem no more any tenderish

so what's this all about
my mood I'm wrecking down
this party is up and started
but I feel I'm not allowed

Don't stare away tonight
just tell me it's alright
we'll leave this place in time
to live again this perfect lie

we'll throw the rules away
we're turning on the game
tonight we break the frame
tonight we break the frame

Don't stare away tonight
just tell me it's alright
we'll leave this place in time
to live again this perfect lie

Don't stare away tonight
just tell me it's alright
we'll leave this place in time
to live again this perfect lie

we'll throw the rules away
we're turning on the game
tonight we break the frame
tonight we break the frame
