Music Video
The video starts off with a quick beep cutscene, and shows a somewhat humanoid animal signing autographs, but quickly revealed that was a mask too, and shows a cat-like head, known as Sea Foxes. The song finally starts when they are walking, with a bag. They go inside an apartment, assuming it is theirs. There is a wall of an reflection of the kitchen. They go in another room as they take off their jacket or sweater that was on them. They then go to see the window, which is a blurry but pretty view. As they sat next to the window, it shows a bit of the city more, outside of the window, such as the buildings. There is then a purple streak going through the city, such as a tunnel and streets. After a bit, there is a green streak rather than a purple one.

Then there is short dialogue, talking about how lonely the city is, and how they walk alone in it. A bit of a scene shows the cat-humanoid looking at a mannequin behind a gate. Then both a purple streak and green streak go above the street, as people are driving cars. For a short second, the humanoid meets another person, then goes back to the purple and green streak. The scene switches once again with a bit of people partying. There's no context given, really.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Cathy Dennis] Think I can fly, think I can fly when I'm with you My arms are wide, catching fire as the wind blows I know that I'm rich enough for pride, I see a billion dollars in your eyes Even if we’re strangers 'til we die

[Chorus: Julia Karlsson] I wanna run away I wanna run away Anywhere out this place I wanna run away Just you and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I Just you and I

[Verse 2: Cathy Dennis] I wanna run, chase the moon and sun when I'm with you Give it all away, catching fire as the wind blows I know that I'm rich enough for pride, I see a billion dollars in your eyes Even if we’re strangers 'til we die

[Chorus: Julia Karlsson] I wanna run away I wanna run away Anywhere out this place I wanna run away Just you and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I You and I, I, I, I, I Just you and I
