Story behind the song

Lyrics were written in March, but the music was not until early August. Recorded and mixed in Cubase except for vocal, keyboard and acoustic guitar parts, which were done in the TASCAM DP-32SD and transferred over.  Many parts were written and generated using Musescore 2, and also added into the mix.

Lyrics

I wish we had the time to leave our footprints in the sand
If only for awhile
I wish we had a moment where I could take you by the hand
and maybe make you smile
To roam around the world and see what we could see
To see you standing there, standing next to me 
Let's run away together and see what we can find
Let's run away together if only in our mind

I wish that we could take a vacation without a care
If only life were so
I wish that we could make new memories to share
Please tell me that you'd go
We'd sail away to sea, or fly, whichever's best
We'd take our own sweet time, forget about the rest
Let's run away together and see what we can find
Let's run away together if only in our mind

Would it be so wrong, to let it all go by?
It might not take us long, we’d only have to try

I wish we'd sneak away, not even need to pack
If only we were gone
I wish that we could leave, not bother to come back
Just go on and on
And when the nights are dark we'd snuggle up in bed
And when the morning comes, we're somewhere else instead
Let's run away together and see what we can find
Let's run away together if only in our mind
Let’s run away together if only in our mind
