[Verse 1]
The drive to be someone you're not (Be someone you're not, be someone you're not)
Chased desert dreams in hopes I'm not forgotten (I'm not forgotten)
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself that I was doing the right thing
Faked everything, faked everything I'm not
[Chorus]
Red clouds come down
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
Red clouds all around
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
[Verse 2]
I remember how badly I wanted to be here
Now I'm just scared
Unveiled destiny
Miles apart from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself that I was doing the right thing
Faked everything, faked everything I'm not
[Chorus]
Red clouds come down
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
Red clouds all around
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning
Red clouds come down
Won't you take me away?
Won't you take me away?
[Bridge]
My intention to be better than you thought I could be
Ended up getting caught up in the life I never thought I ever would be
They say they "told me so"
But how could I have ever known?
Well now I know better (Know better)
I'll never be your prisoner (Prisoner)
I hoped you knew me better (Knew me better)
I am my own prisoner
[Chorus]
Red clouds come down
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
Red clouds all around
Won't you take me away? (Won't you take me away?)
'Cause sometimes it takes a little bit of leaving to find, to find some meaning
Red clouds come down
Won't you take me away?
Won't you take me away?
