Let's run away
Where the seasons roll right in
Throw our cares into the wind

And try to disappear again.

And we can take a trip

To the water where we kissed
Hold my hand we will get through this
I'll bring a smile to your lips.


Illinois on the edge
But we will take it back

Every word I've said but never spoken
If it comes to the end, babe
I'll bring you back

And our words will stay forever golden.

Illinois, Illinois.


Quiet now, quiet down
We have to find our way back out

Out of town
We're stuck here now
It's just me and you

Let's talk this out

Right now

You know how much I need you
Oh, I need you by my side
And I need you tonight.


Illinois on the edge
But we will take it back

Every word I've said but never spoken
If it comes to the end, babe
I'll bring you back

And our words will stay forever golden.

Illinois, Illinois.


Is there some other rhythm to the night?
I already looked into your eyes.


(So call me back when you words are golden
Call me back or move on)


Is there some other rhythm to the night?
Call me back or move on.


Illinois on the edge
But we will take it back

Every word I've said but never spoken
If it comes to the end, babe
I'll bring you back

And our words will stay forever golden.

Illinois, Illinois

Illinois

(So call me back when your words are golden

Call me back or move on
So call me back when the words are golden.)
