    Let me catch my breath.
    This is really hard.
    If I start to look like I’m sweating
    That’s ‘cause I am.
    I’m not good with words.
    But that’s nothing new.
    Still I have to try to explain what I want to do
    With you…
    With you.
    Run away with me.
    Let me be your ride out of town.
    Let me be the place that you hide.
    We can make our lives on the go.
    Run away with me.
    Texas in the summer is cool.
    We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac
    Looking back,
    Sam, you’re ready,
    Let’s go
    Anywhere.
    Get the car packed and throw me the key.
    Run away with me.
    Sam, I know it’s fast.
    I’m in love with you.
    Sam, it’s crazy but Sam, I’m crazier for you.
    I have these plans.
    Sam, I have these plans
    Of a house that we build on a bay
    When we run away.
    Let me be your ride out of town.
    Let me be the place that you hide.
    We can make our lives on the go.
    Run away with me.
    Alabama heat - sign me up.
    We’ll be on the road like some country song.
    Won’t be long.
    Sam, you’re ready.
    Let’s go
    Anywhere.
    Get the car packed and throw me the key.
    Run away with me.
    I’m not trying to make you a wife here,
    I’m not trying to tie you down.
    I’m just saying there might be a life here -
    A new one as soon as we run,
    Just as soon as we run.
    Run away
    Let me be your ride out of town.
    Let me be the place that you hide.
    We can make our lives on the go.
    Run away with me.
    Mississippi mud - watch me slide.
    We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac,
    Looking back.
    Sam, you’re ready, Sam.
    Let me be your ride out of town.
    Run away with me.
    California dreams, here we come!
    Romeo is calling for Juliet.
    Ready, set,
    Sam, you’re ready.
    Let’s go
    Anywhere.
    Say the word and I’m already there!
    Run away with me.

      Avadno Saile you do realize Ben Platt was the original actor for Evan and he’s 25. Ben Fankhauser is 29, only 4 years older. Not that much of a difference and regardless of his age, he looks young enough to play Evan believably.
