[Verse 1]
You got a blue heart
You got magic hands
You blow me candy kisses
We've got secret plans
I'm in a black box
But I can see the light
I'm on the other side of this paradise

[Chorus]
We could run away
We could run away
Take me out this place
We could break the chains
We could run away
We could run away
Help me, please escape
We could break the chains

[Verse 2]
I got a lot of love, but I'm scared it's gonna go to waste
Locked inside an empty room
How can i get through to you?
Lying on the floor I'm just a body in an open grave
I just wanna scream your name
I am gonna rise again

[Chorus]
We could run away
We could run away
Take me out this place
We could break the chains
We could run away
We could run away
Help me, please escape
We could break the chains

[Refrain]
I just wanna kiss your face
I just wanna have a taste
I am gonna break the chains, chains, oh, oh, oh-oh
I just wanna kiss your face
I just wanna have a taste
I am gonna break the chains, chains, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
We could run away
We could run away
Take me out this place
We could break the chains
We could run away
We could run away
Help me, please escape
We could break the chains

[Refrain]
I just wanna kiss your face
I just wanna have a taste
I am gonna break the chains, chains, oh, oh, oh-oh
I just wanna kiss your face
I just wanna have a taste
I am gonna break the chains, chains, oh, oh, oh-oh

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
