I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house 
Be gone before the morning comes 
I could dye my hair, I could change my name 
Leave it all behind, be free to run 

When I close my eyes I'm on the other side 
I'm like a hurricane along the track 
I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind 
Beyond the walls which always hold me back 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Girls gotta have a little daydream 
It's a secret escape 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Don't worry baby 
I'm here to stay 

The noise of the city and the neon sky 
It will fade with the falling down 
And the quiet gets too close to me 
So won't you come and bring me around? 

Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes 
I don't need it to be true 
‘Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days 
And I know you go there too 

Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Girls gotta have a little daydream 
It's a secret escape 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Don't worry baby 
I'm here to stay 

Runaway, runaway 
Runaway, runaway 
Runaway, runaway 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Girls gotta have a little daydream 
It's a secret escape 

It's just my imagination 
Running away 
Don't worry baby 
I'm here to stay 

Don't worry baby 
I'm here to stay
