 Though I beg you to stay-y  -y.  I'm running away  from you
I'm  running away-y-y.  From predict-able
 Miss reli-able.  So method-ical
 Wanna be indivi-dual.  And ori-ginal
 So rad-ical.  And desi-rable
Put  a message in a bottle
 Watch it sail across the ocean blue-e
 So free of limitations
 A vision I can only fantasize
 I'm floating in a new direction
 As this is my life
