Bandits Lyrics

We know most people they get tiresome we gotta find a way to get around them.
The open road it ain't my home but when you're close everyone else looks lonesome.
Let's hitch a ride to somewhere stark where the law won't recognize your face.
I'll hold you close, we'll find new names and then forget why we are running.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e37941-meg_and_dia~bandits_lyrics.html ]
Tell me.
We're in this together.
Relax.
I won't let them near you.

I heard they got a sun of gold that shines down on Mexico.
When we get there all tired and broke we'll leave the camaro in the desert.
If we get caught I wouldn't turn you in,
I would pretend like I don't know you, if I had to.
It'd break my heart but if I knew you got away
it'd give me peace of mind till the day I died.

Tell me.
We're in this together.
Relax.
I won't let them near you.

But I awoke to blaring sirens so I covered you with my jacket.
They bound my hands with metal bands but I screamed to be distracting.
I drove away in their back seat, saw your crying eyes behind the tumble weeds.
When I get out, I'll come to find you, cause you're my other half,
I never told you that, never told you that.

Tell me.
We're in this together.
Relax.
I won't let them near you.
[repeats until end]
