this gloomy weather doesnt break here any, break here anymore
the sun abandonded us for blue skies somewhere,
blue skies somewhere warm
the world outside my window is scratching at my door
there's only stories of what life was like before

(take me away) Where the skies aren't
(shades of grey) Baby, let's make
(our escape)To a place where
(we can) wake to sun again

board the windows up, it's cold as hell
it's cold as hell out there
light some candles, need to shed some light
to shed some light in here
the streets are cold and damp
the trees are dark and bare
this dead season it seems to last right through the year

(take me away) Where the skies aren't
(shades of grey) Baby, let's make
(our escape)To a place where
(we can) wake to sun again

let's leave it all behind us
find a nice little island
we can live like a story
that ends like a fairy tale

leave all of your possessions
forget all that you thought you knew
so we can live like a movie
that ends like we want it to

and I wanna go (now, now, now, now)
and I wanna go (now, now, now, now)
and I wanna go (now, now, now, now)
and I wanna go

let's leave it all behind us (and I wanna go)
find a nice little island (and I wanna go)
where we can live like a story (and I wanna go)
that ends like a fairy tale (and I wanna go)

(take me away) where the skies aren't
(shades of grey) baby, let's make
(our escape)to a place where
(we can) wake to sun again

(take me away) where the skies aren't
(shades of grey) baby, let's make
(our escape) to a place where
(we can) wake to sun again
