On the street where you live
Girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you asked
When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But we're living in another world
Tryin' to get your message through
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
A different line every night
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone
'Cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights
At night on the neon Broadway signs
And she don't really mind
It's only love she hoped to find
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she wants a night away
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she wants a night away
Graffiti decorations under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind
I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
I wanna run away, never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers, no more lies
I wanna shut the door and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
Ooooooh oh ooooh
Wooooah ooh oooooo
[Chorus]
For the longest time, I’ve been on my shine, I’m song
Now I’ll never let up I’ve been wanting this way too long,
Got me sitting toe high, trying to balance out the lows
And I think it’s time that I propose a toast
Let’s make a toast to the dickheads that boast ’cause we get bread toast to the bad b-tches that sh-t on their ass b-tches
Everybody think they’re Jordan so toast to the Pippens
Nobody’s the same but we know different
We all want this money right,
Everybody trying to eat like it’s money pie
I should live 100 lives I should have 100 wives
And the honey-beds, I should tell her 100 lies
Then I wonder why, when it’s all set and done
Tell me what will I become,
I wanna say that I did learn some, earn some,
Bad memories I did burn some
Sanitize my hands and let the germs gone
See you n-ggers is disgusting
Bad bitches worldwide wanna f-ck em
You see they treat my dick like lip balm
They know I hit hard, no concussion, come on
[Chorus]
For the longest time, I’ve been on my shine, I’m song
Now I’ll never let up I’ve been wanting this way too long,
Got me sitting toe high, trying to balance out the lows
And I think it’s time that I propose a toast
Let’s make a toast to the good times
Let’s have a toast for the cash flow
Make a toast to a new thang
On the arm of a bad hoe
Make a toast to the bad day
So we appreciate the sun rays
If you still don’t understand , stay away as far as you could
Stay away, stay away, stay away as far as you can X 3
Still don’t understand
Stay away as far as you can
Cause girl I’ve barely even know, scream loud for me
See I’m living life with no boundaries
But even a sunny day got clouds you see
I’m floating in the air, I live there
Laid back chair, call me song (?)
I got a big beach, you got a beach chair
I’m the big picture and you’re just a small square
But who am I to say I’m better man
I just want this sh-t forever man
Momma said there will be better days
But when better days came
I knew there were better thangs
Ahead of me, you telling me this everything
Now quit playing man where’s everything?
The women are amazing, the liquors always tasteful
The party off the chain
But emptiness remains, tell me where’s the love that I’m missing?
From an everyday kitchen, or a girl thats really down cause I know she’s been around
I feel like something wrong, but everything’s right
Hand quotes in the air read left right
I ain’t trying to bitch I’m living the blessed life
Would I trade it in motherf-cker? Yeah, right
Wack n-ggers can’t hit me nor see me
This is the graveyard, death sight
[Chorus]
For the longest time, I’ve been on my shine, I’m song
Now I’ll never let up I’ve been wanting this way too long,
Got me sitting toe high, trying to balance out the lows
And I think it’s time that I propose a toast
Let’s make a toast to the good times
Let’s have a toast for the cash flow
Make a toast to a new thang
On the arm of a bad hoe
Make a toast to the bad day
So we appreciate the sun rays
You still don’t understand , stay away as far as you could
Stay away, stay away, stay away as far as you can X 3
Still don’t understand
Stay away as far as you can
If I could stand on a cloud and speak out loud to the world below me
To play my name just so that they know me, you see the neighbors know my name
Even the haters love my fame, everybody plays my game
We’ve got mental hypocrisy at such high velocities
When I speak truth, everybody calls me Socrates
I’ve got such a philosophy that everybody’s watching me
Looking at they wrist, sh-t everybody’s clocking me
Ahhh, there’s no thrill like a slow kill
Standing at the bottom looking at the top
Hoping that they stop blocking me
If I had a day job n-ggers probably stayed dockin me
See I hate rules, if you said I obey, you ain’t ever know Trey
You ain’t know I’m season like obey
Do re mi sol fa la si do, toss it to the as-holes, exclude me through
Please, don’t involve me in that, see I’m a dignified man with a signified plan
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wah, wah, wah, wah wonder
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder when she will stay
My little runaway a-run, run, run, run, a-runaway
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wah, wah, wah, wah wonder
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonder when she will stay
My little runaway, a-run, run, run, run, a-runaway
Run run run run runaway
Run run run run runaway
Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work 'cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No, you can't 'cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out, no
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud
And I feel so alive
I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
So so's how I'm doing if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there, come closer it's at your own risk
Yeah, you know how it is life can be a bitch
I feel so alive
I can't help myself, don't you realize
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.
No one heard a single word you said.

Now she was the night away
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong

Wishin' you were here by me
to end this misery and I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why,
why-why-why-why-why
she ran away, and I wonder
where she will stay-yay,
my little Runaway,
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Runaway fast as you can
She find pictures in my email
I sent this bitch a picture of my dick
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good at that shit
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hood rats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at
And I always find, yeah, I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Runaway fast as you can
Runaway from me, baby
Runaway, runaway from me, baby
Runaway I'm about to get crazy, then runaway
Use the thug plan, runaway as fast as you can
Runaway from me, baby
Runaway, runaway from me, baby
Runaway, I'm about to get crazy
Why can't she just runaway?
Baby I got a plan, runaway as fast as you can
24/7, 365, pussy stays on my mind
I-I-I did it, alright, alright, I admit it
Now pick your next move
You could leave or live with it
Ichabod Crane with that motherfucking top off
Split and go where? Back to wearing knockoffs, ha, ha
Knock it off, Neiman's, shop it off
Let's talk over Mai Tai's, waitress, top it off
Ho's like vultures, wanna fly in your Freddy loafers
You can't blame 'em, they ain't never seen Versace sofas
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it
You should leave if you can't accept the basics
Plenty ho's in the baller-nigger matrix
Invisibly set, the Rolex is faceless
I'm just young, rich and tasteless, P
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know it did damage
'Cause the look in your eyes is killing me
I guess you knew another vantage
'Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know how I'ma manage
If one day you just up and leave
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
( Rossi / Frost )
Riding on a high
Riding so high now I'm leaving
Am I running far from my own fears
I'm never facing up
I never face up to the reasons
And never showing any of my tears
Cos I
Leave out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time
And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Take me far away
Take me away to an island
And leave me hear to cry in my own tears
Try me once again
Try me again when you're passing
Maybe I'll remember you in years
I can't go out the back way
Just the way that I came in
I hope it seems like the logical way, at the timeBeacuse I'll run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Looking for so long
But I am listening longer
I haven't seen or heard a thing from you
I can't stay here
I couldn't stay here if you paid me
I can't give you any guarantees
I won't
Go out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time
And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
I always will remember my needs
I said,I always will remember my needs
[Tech N9ne]
Yo, wassup baby?
How you been?
It's been a long time since I talked to you last
I got a question, you still with homeboy?
Y'know homeboy don't matter to me
I'm interested in you baby
We can creep
Y'know what I'm sizzlin'?
Just think about it baby, I'm tryin' to get with you for real
[Chorus] - 2x
Might be some fun to runaway
This game is one I wanna play
I'm done, he's gone and run astray
No fun, the sun has gone away
[Tech N9ne]
Wassup?
This ya boy Tech Nina
It's good to hear ya, but it's been a minute since I seen ya
Fox demeanor
Gots to dream ya
Cause you stay blocked and locked with hops between ya
I know you got a man
I know you got a little on the side
But I was thinkin if you down for creepin then we can slide
You's a hot one
And you look like you need a top notch one
Ya boy couldn't win it with Johnny Cochran
I know he with you when it's cool
But I'm still tryin to get you to cruise
That ill behind and your lips and your boobs
Come get with a fool
We can take any trip that you choose
Forget that your dude is waitin while you twistin in the nude with this
Boss villian ghetto true mafia
Feel you from here to Czechoslovakia
What's stoppin ya?
I need it and I don't think that I can deal without it
Strictly being real baby tell me what you feel about it
[Chorus] - 2x
Might be some fun to runaway
This game is one I wanna play
I'm done, he's gone and run astray
No fun, the sun has gone away
[Tech N9ne]
I know you got time with dude and I'm new
But I'mma true
and I'm tryin to get into you
I know he probably give you big love
But I don't trip cause
Dude's cool, I met him at the strip club
Ya he's good for you
He keeps you grounded
While I pound it
Soft and wet is how it sounded
Leave you astounded
From the tongue dancin around it
That's the angle
Search for an angel
and then I found it
Right between those eyes baby
I know it gets heated at home
But your homie Tech Nizzle can hear your cries baby
I know it's hell, I put out fires with this
Got him cussin on your pager and slittin tires and shit
You don't need that
You need positive feedback
Lift you're skirt up and throw you on the counter and eat that
L-E-G's back
Pull it out and I tease that
We release that
Have us a drink and repeat that
What you think?
[Chorus] - 2x
Might be some fun to runaway
This game is one I wanna play
I'm done, he's gone and run astray
No fun, the sun has gone away
[Tech N9ne]
Yo, yo, check
I need a hardcore chick who can chill
On the rap side
Love, money, and keep her scratch-tied
So when your homeboy don't act right
Just remember my face is a permanent sittin spot for your backside
I'm just tryin to kick it
Make up your mind you want N9ne to stick it
I'm diggin you because you fine and wicked
Don't want to miss it
I'm psycho sick wit it
Dig it
I slop you like a biscuit
and I'll hop ya like a cricket
This is a - decent proposal don't ever hate on it
When I see somethin I want baby I'm never late on it
You ain't gotta answer now you can merinate on it
But before I go I got to throw this serenade on it
It goes
When it rains and when it thunders
If he treat you like a cheap and he runaway from ya
You can call me on the under
When you need someone to run to just dial my number
[Chorus] - 2x
Might be some fun to runaway
This game is one I wanna play
I'm done, he's gone and run astray
No fun, the sun has gone away
[Tech N9ne]
So what you think baby?
You think you can do this?
You think you got the borders to do this with me? (Hehehe...)
You know you're thinkin about it
I know you're thinkin about it
I see how you look at me
You and me exchangin looks over his shoulder at the restaurant, remember that? (Heh)
Ya, I know you remember that
Just creep with me baby, it's cool
We can kick it, y'know what I'm sayin?
On the outside, a beautiful thing
On the inside, a bird with a broken wing
Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind
You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again
As he shakes his fist, somethin' dribbles down his chin
Can you live like this
Just crawlin' underneath their skin
CHORUS:
Better run...runaway, there is no reason to stay
Run...runaway
Better run...runaway, fast as these words that I say
Run...runaway
From the ashes you will rise
Distant crashes in your eyes
Though he's made you into an image of his pain
Cut and shaved you
Like a prisoner on a train
There are broken limbs
And tangled power lines
No songs like hymns
No flowers in the springtime
CHORUS TWICE
I found your heart on Valentine's Day
I tore it apart, with all I do, with all I say
Just run....
Better run....runaway
There is no reason to stay
Run...runaway
You just run...runaway
Fast as these words that I say
Run...runaway
Better run....runaway
There is no reason to stay
Run...runaway
Better run...runaway
Fast as these words that I say
Run...runaway
I've seen the world, been to many places
Made lots of friends, many different races
I've had such fun around the world it's true
African skies with a Nairobi mood
I fell asleep in Tuscany and dreamed
The one thing missing was you
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I woke up with an Australian breeze
And danced the dance with Aborigines
Oh under the moon glow down in Mexico I dreamed
One thing was missing that's you
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We'll sail the waters of many colours
We won't need a compass, love will guide our way
Don't need nobody, as long as we got each other
No need to hurry, we've got everyday
I wanna share the world with you, you see
Spring time in Paris feels so good to me
Oh this is for me reality
So please make all my wishes come true
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I just know we'll have a good time
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody gives you guarantees
'Cos a heart can always be broken
And there can be no loving without tears
Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway if I can't find love,
I'm gonna runaway
Nobody's looking for perfection
How could they give it in return
But I told my heart to believe you
And you just gave your love to anyone
Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway and I don't want to hurt anymore
Though my heart is always aching
If I can't find love,
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things
We've done together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, to the bone I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I w-w-wonder, why, you ran away
And I wonder if you will stay, my little runaway, my runaway
I'm a walking in the rain, to the bone I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I w-w-wonder baby yeah, you know why, you ran away
And I wonder if you will stay, my little runaway, my little runaway
Come back baby
(Run, run, runaway)
You left me standing in the rain
(Run, run, runaway)
Come back baby
(Run, run, runaway)
Standing in the rain
I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window
All the pictures and pain, I've left behind
All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find
And I wonder, how long it will take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder, how far it'll take me
To run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, this life makes no sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
Well, I'm too young to be taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe all this hypocrisy
And I wonder, how long it will take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name, come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Runaway, run for your life he's returned...
I ain't worked in 2 years, guess who's back
Still, my whole albums sell like crack
Blow indo out tha window, of my Limo
Sleepin, with my heat in my pillow
I really don't give a damn, who you are
Understand that you dealin wif a shootin star
Competition, never heard of it
But I hit permanent, did I murder it?
Afermative
The urban kid, learnin quick, about earnin grib
Got more 8 ball than a pool tournament
Swearvin and burbin still cadillacin
Still pack tha mackin, still bout no rappin
Drop like Geronimo, got porono-flow
You are bit too young, but your mama know
I'm pit-fisious, never fake-tisious
In this, cause MC's so delicious...
Like Mexican, get revenge
Never stop settin trends
To tha level of excellence
Still stackin dead presidents
It's evident, I'm Texas sent
Who plex get proper measurment
No refery, sellin cheese
Enemies, Memories
Yes sir'y, rest in peace
Been that way for centuries
Set chemistry, I'm blessin fiends
We the men of empty dreams
My every, master piece
Influenced by street tragedys
Got family, tried jackin me
Alotta fun that'll be...
White postah, steak and lobster
Sautay shrimp, five fif and sauces
Craw fish, sausage, even austrage
Why test one from tha crack monters?
Crunshes of the world of lobstas
My nina ross does wonders with tha crossas
Balas don't care, whatcha call us
Livin cautious, takin no loses
All my whole office, got no accompliss
Tha thought of bosses makes me nautious
Promised mom this time it's honest
Drop hit's and make lagidimate profits
Knowledge from tha street college
Reach for tha top, just watch tha copers
Imposter hate true Mobbstas
Remember I'm the one who didn't have a lot to say
I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away
And I can't forget your face, y'know it haunts me all the time
And it seems to me you're living in a dream
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
I want to tell you what I'm thinking, but the words get in the way
When I'm sitting here alone I find the things I meant to say
If I wrote them in a letter, would you read between the lines
Would you understand how much I really care
Wish we could run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
[I] I love you
[Need] I need you
[You] Don't want to live without you
If I'm backward counting forward, would you help me realize
All the answers to the questions I've been asking with my eyes
I could hand you all the cliches, but you've heard them all before
And I want to say I love you in my own way
And could we run away, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you
Runaway, runaway, we could be alone together
Far away, leave the world behind
Runaway, I love you, I need you
What I want to say is, I want you
You're a, I love you, part of me, I need you
Let me be a part of you
I said all that I'll say, so I stand with no apologies
I've popped all that I popped, wasn't too recently that it got to me
Those of yall that love Joe, gotta admit the shit was a lot to see
Today I take all of the credit like I did away with modesty
I lost weight, lost faith, I got caught up in that vacuum
My stomach turned and my eyes burned, and I became best friends with the bathroom
Today it takes all the strength I have inside for me to avoid the rush
Face pokered over the toilet, all you hear is a royal flush
Was under the control, though they warned me about addiction
Mind manifested again in the form of a prescription
And it's funny what the effects of that little pill'll do
Funny shit that keeps you alive can also kill you
But it's my life, guess I'm stuck in it
Sometimes I wanna just be normal like them other kids
The demon I battle with every night is simply drugs and shit
But I'll runaway from it all if God deems that I've had enough of it
They say don't get lost, follower the leader
And don't do that, be a believer
When the sun goes down, you better hide
It's a dangerous world, better stay inside and
Run along, run along
It's a long long way, home from here
Run along, run along
It's a long long way, home from here, yeah
Uh, it go
How come they can roll? Yall tell me how come they can smoke, they can drink?
They get to do whatever they want and it don't interrupt the way they think
They all get to be regular, why is it only me this odd?
Me who can't even stand up straight, me who can't even keep a job
Maybe I'm asking for too much, a tiny piece of normalcy
Or answer to any one of my fucking prayers that's asking what's wrong with me
Maybe I'm tired of being unique, tired of being that outcast
I'm tired of me being the only one, so tired of you all not knowing about that
I'm tired of it all, want me to fall a spectacle, for the crowd to see
Or being the only one with faith, I'm tired of everybody doubting me
I'm tired of responding to grown ass folks that think so motha fuckin childishly
Aches, wish I could take my parents' genes the fuck up out of me
Tired of wanting to run somewhere, tired of having to bare it all
Tired of you fucks constantly taking from me and I'm willing to share it all
Tired of being objective, I'm tired of having to hear it all
But being alone is the only way I know to never be near it all
They say don't get lost, follower the leader
And don't do that, be a believer
When the sun goes down, you better hide
It's a dangerous world, better stay inside and
Run along, run along
It's a long long way, home from here
Run along, run along
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
I'd like to runaway
There's a greyhound bus that's leaving
Half past four
This time it's over if I take it
So I slowly cross the room
And at the door
That's one mistake to make, when I maked it
I start to see you sleeping
Lying there
One empty cup, one empty chair
I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it
No, I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it oh...
So instead I set my bag down
That Ain't fair
You're still sleeping like a baby
I touch your lips, your eyes, your mouth
And kiss your hair
It might just workout
Who knows, maybe
I was sure that I could make it
Through the door
Find someone else who needs me more
I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it
No, I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it oh...
Runaway, all alone, on these streets you call your home
Fade to black, painted smile
On these streets there cries a wounded child
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
Runaway, all alone, turns the corner toward a telephone
Pik it up, then call my name
Tell me when you want to end this game
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
You're a runaway, and you're harder than stone
You're a runaway
But are you woman enough not to be alone ?
You're a runaway, you gotta an angry heart
You're a runaway, and when you're ready baby
I'll let you finish what you start
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you,
I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too,
And I would runaway,

Cause I have fallen in love,
With you, no never have,

Introducing Earth, Wind & Fire
Yah yah yah
Come on come on come on
No money in my pocket
Gotta get a no limit
So I became America's most wanted
All I ever wanted was a fancy car
A crib for my mom and a mastercard
Baby you know it's in Hollywood
New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
Went from a teen to a young adult
No excuses aint't my fault
Runaway
We living like runaways
Wake up
Stretching in the morning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth
Hit the streets
Where there's heat
We afford to beef
Hoping one day
We don't have to run away
(Gotta Escape)
I didn't want to runaway
But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
We didn't want to runaway

But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
I didn't want to go away
But I had to go away yo
Yo G&B; where you at?
Momma came home from a hard days work
At day time a maid at night time a nurse
Work so hard to make sure we survived
Living a ghetto paradise
Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
Hoping that darkness brings me light
Praying for that better day where we won't have to runaway
Runaway
We living like runaways
Wake up
Stretching in the morning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth
Hit the streets
Where there's heat

Did you cry when they dragged you home
Put a lock on the door and the telephone
Was a runaway girl all they could see?...
Have the nights and the days that you've come through
Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true
And was a runaway girl all they could see...
A teenage extra from the satellite TV
Runaway girl
Too bad Too bad
Runaway girl
Too wild Too wild
Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies
Maybe they didn't care to ask you why
Was a runaway girl all they choose to see
All they were prepared to admit to
Runaway girl
Too bad Too bad
Runaway girl
Real wild child
So you cower in the towns forgotten places
And make your bed with unfamiliar faces
And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got
You're tryin' to make up your mind up if you're better off
You pretend to wait for washing in some laundromat
But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going
back
You'd freeze before you'd share a roof with them
And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again
Did you cry when they dragged you home?
Red one lady gaga haha baby baby baby baby i anit gonna runaway runaway run run run run away
Feel the adrenaline moving under my skin
It's an addiction such an eruption
Sound is my remedy feeding me energy
Music is all I need.
Baby, I just wanna dance
I don't really care I just wanna dance
I don't really care... care... care (feel it in the air... yeah)
[Chorus]
She's being a crazy dita disco diva... and you wonder:
"Who's that chick? who's that chick?"
Too cold for you to keep her
Too hot for you to leave her
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Back on the dancefloor better not to take me home
Bass kicking so hot blazing through my beating heart
French kissing on the floor, heart is beating hardcore
Heard everybody is getting a little sexy on the crazy juice
This will end up in the news
Baby, I just wanna dance
I don't really care I just wanna dance
I don't really care... care... care (feel it in the air... yeah
[Chorus]
She's a mean and crazy dita disco diva... and you wonder:
"Who's that chick? who's that chick?"
Too cold for you to keep her
Too hot for you to leave her
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Who's that chick? who's that chick?
Ultra sexual, the night has got me love sprung
I won't stop until the sun is up oh yeah
My heart is a dancer beating like a disco drum oh oh uh oh
Ultra sexual, the night has got me love sprung
I won't stop until the sun is up oh yeah
My heart is a dancer beating like a disco drum
Beating like a disco drum... beating like a disco drum...

She's a mean and crazy dita disco diva... and you wonder:

Too cold for you to keep her
Too hot for you to leave her

Feels so good being bad
There's no way I'm turning back
Now the pain is for pleasure, 'cause nothing can measure
Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more.
-chorus-
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Stickss and stones may break my bones,
But chains and whips excite me.

Sitting at the crossways
Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line so any times
Girl, it's never right
Me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Sometimes I swear I could spin these old wheels
Just let it go
Runaway
Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see gently taps your memory
And shoots you down
Those hometown thoughts, school yard dreams and yesterdays
Moving in I just put my head down and drift away
And we're moving up and down, in and out of town
We're all searching for that piece of higher ground
somewhere...
Runaway
I thought I had been every place a man could be,
'till I met a lady who brought me to my knees.
The day I stop loving is the day that I die,
But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie.
I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead.
I met her down in the underground,
Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around.
I got what I came for and more, that's for sure,
'cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more.
I've got a choice
Run away or be torn to shreds.
I've got a life and I want to live
Don't want to be dead.
When I first met you, baby,
I knew you could come on strong.
But when you held a knife to me,
You know, that just ain't too friendly.
I've heard of liberated,
But that's so understated.
I should have listened to them
When they told me you were crazy
What am I supposed to do with this time?
It tears so many holes, I stay afloat but I'm
Feel out of control, so petrified
I'm petrified
What am I supposed to do to get by?
Did I lose everything I need to survive?
'Cause it's four am and the sweat sets in
Did you get my message, did it send?
Or did you just get on with your life?
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around
And run away, run away
What am I supposed to do with these clothes?
It's my twisted way of keep you close
I'm a nervous wreck, I'm a broken man
Did you get my message, did it send?
Or do you get along on your own?
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around
And run away, run away
And it breaks me down when I see your face
You look so different but you feel the same
And I do not understand, I cannot comprehend
The chills your body sends, why did it have to end?
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling that I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around
And run away, run away
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
And I have this feeling that I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around
And run away, run away
Runaway, runaway
Turn around and run away, run away
Runaway, runaway
But I can't tell you if you run away, run away
As I walk along
I wonder what went wrong
With our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on
I think of the things we've done
Together
While our hearts were young
I'm walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
Why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay?
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
Why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay?
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
As I walk alone
I wonder
What went wrong
with our love
Although it was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'm walking in the rain
To the born and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this miserie
And I wonder
I wa wa wa wa wonder
Wa wa wa wa
She run way
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My litttle runaway
Now, I'm walking in the rain
To the born and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this miserie
And I wonder
I wa wa wa wa
wonder
Wa wa wa wa
She run way
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My litttle runaway
I hear people talk
I see people walk
They seem so out of touch
I wanna get away so much
All the clockwork toys
Are making too much noise
It's the machinery
It's breaking down O' can't you see
Run runaway with me
The picture doesn't change
It's just a frozen frame
I wanna break the ice
I wanna go to paradise
There is nowhere to hide
I'll take you for a ride
But not if you kiss and tell
I don't mean on a carousel
One day I'm
To say my
Three wishes come true
Till then I pretend I'm
She wakes up in the morning
In the same room that she's been in her whole life
And everything still looks the same
But the feeling of the room has changed in spite
She said:
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind"
She said:
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind all the time"
Bruised lips and the make-up
Tattooed hips and pierced
For the sake of letting everybody know
She don't belong here
Old tricks that she made up
Attitude
I don't give a fuck
For the sake of letting everybody know
She says I won't belong So long
It's not a lost cause
She's just a runaway
Is there nothing left for you to say?
And if she comes home
Do you think she'll want to stay?
Is there anything for her?
She's a runaway
Turn your back on yesterday
She calls at seven thirty
And wants to talk about her boyfriend one last time
Mom and Dad are fighting in the background,
Shattered glass cuts through red wine
I said:
"I don't know that I'm right but I know that you're wrong"
Blacked out
Passed out at a party
In another town
With the same old Bacardi
Nothing ever changes what's inside me
Someone find me, someone find me
My heart showed me the way out
Don't stop
Don't give up on me now
Two beats, two streets
You don't know how much I love you
but I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could
(chorus)
Run run run, run away
Come on baby let's
run run run, run away
Come on baby let's
run run run, run away
If you knew how much I miss you
Oh and I miss you more and more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could
(chorus)
Sun is comin' and
it's getting warmer
They tell me spring is
just around the corner
I been sitting watchin'
all the flowers
Birds are singin'
getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
and here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
If you knew how much I need you
Oh and I need you like the air
And if someone should take you from me
Well then I'd
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together, while our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery, I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder, why
Why-why-why-why-why
She ran away, and I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love so rare and strong
And as I walk along, I think of
The times we had together
While our hearts were young
I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
A run run run run runaway
There are only two places I could go
One is dark and it feels so hollow
And it lets me in only to swallow
To much water until I drown, baby
And the other place is calm and sweet
I can almost feel wings beneath my feet
And I don't care if it feels to deep
I like it, I like it
And I know you wanna take a chance
And I know you wanna understand me
And let me in
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time show me your love tonight
There are only two places that I see
One is strong, and the other one feels so weak
And this plan feels so strange to me
It's all I see, baby
And I know you wanna let it go
And i know you wanna flow this love
But you can't
So you, runaway from what you know
And you, runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, show me your love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight
All the angels know what I know
You're an angel that sings to me
It's the greatest secret of all
I am free from thinking
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, let's make love
Don't runaway from what you know
Don't runaway, just let it go
I don't wanna wait for you to tell me what's right
Don't fight it, let's make love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight, oh yeah, oh
Yeah, baby, oh yeah
Can you dig it
Something in the air tonight
Got a one way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride
Got to make it
Make it to the other side
I've got demons
Snapping at my heels tonight
CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I can't stay
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today
Can u feel it
Im stuck inside in a hurricane
Chasing rainbows
Cant u see im going insane
I wanna be a free man
But im spinning on this crazy wheel
Im jumping for the high bar
Cant u dig it
No longer know what I feel
Cant u see
CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around running me down I can't stay
I just want to get away, I just want to get away now.
Get them off my back today
I just wanna runaway
Turn me loose, turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose
(Interlude)
Got to make it, got to make it
Got to break it, got to make it
CHORUS
I just want to runaway
Just want to runaway
Got people around running me down I can't stay
Can't stay here long now
I just want to get away
I just got to get away
Get them off my back today

Turn me loose, runaway
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things
We've done together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery
And I wonder, wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why she went away
And I wonder if she will stay, my little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery
And I wonder, wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why she went away
And I wonder if she will stay, my little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me to end this misery
And I wonder, wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why she went away
And I wonder if she will stay, my little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway, my run, run, run, run, runaway
Why are you so ungrateful/
You nuh see that Jah give we life after all/
Check yourself before you wreck yourself/
Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all/
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all/
Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall/
Fall dem a fall - fall dem a fall/
Chorus:
How long you want to go run away/
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal/
And every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do/
And make your life one a the real/
How you fi expect love and you still a glorifie the gun/
How you want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun/
Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn/
You still nuh realize that you wrong/
After you come out of your church you beat your babymother down/
And then you tell her you're sorry but your head did full a rum/
She couldn't tek your excuse and your flattering tongue/
That's why she left you today and still a ask/
Chorus:
How long you want to go run away/
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal/
And every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do/
And make your life one a the real/
Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark/
Dem stand ina the spotlight and live in the dark/
Claim say dem grounded but me see dem a skylark/
So to me dem can't talk/
In this time and this ages man hafi be smart/
Think before you talk and watch the road wha' you a walk/
From you look ina your conscience you can't miss the mark/
And make a joyful sound unto the Lord/
Chorus:
How long you want to go run away/
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal/
And every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do/
And make your life one a the real/
Nuff a dem me see dem can teach/
Dem hufi go back a school so a no me dem can teach/
A fi dem dirty talk dem call it freedom of speech/
Me wonder who dem try reach/
Righteousness uno fi go check it/
Golong and do some good ina Your life wickedness uno fileft it/
Cleanheart always will make it/
And from you see a chance ina your life/
(Anderson/Cichon)
A love like ours is slightly out of time here
We need to find a way to set our souls free
Oh come away if you wanna know
A perfect place
Where only love grows
Moon and tide sing a song never ceasing
Sad souls cry out for the love of the sea
Oh come away if you wanna know
A perfect place
Where only love grows
CHORUS
Runaway and love will grow while we're waiting
Runaway find an easier way
Runaway from the end of all reason
Runaway we gotta do it today
Wax and wane flows
The sea never ending
Sails in the wind
Singing come unto me
Come
Oh come away if you wanna know
A perfect place
Where our love grows
Repeat CHORUS X3
Runaway
So you say
See you again
Some other day
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(chorus)
If I ever see you again
Yeah, runaway
Runaway
Could not stay
Till our bodies Turn to clay
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Hearing your voice in a dream
Telling me things are not as they seem
But will I every see you again,
I take a ride to the other side
cause it feels so nice just to drive and drive and drive.
I'd make amends for the other night
if you'd be here with me holding me tight.
Is this the chance when we fly away?
Cause I need to know if I'm coming back,
I push and pull just to get what I want.
In the end I should know that you bring it all to me.
Reach out, you can go overboard if you want to.
In and out, don't lose control, don't lose control.
Just don't take it back.
And I get so close, but I runaway, I runaway.
Things I fear the most, keep me here to stay, but anyway...
Can we try for right now, free of doubt.
If you give the chance I could try and figure out.
I'm kind of scared because I don't know how.
But I'm watching the close calls and catching my breath now.
There could be time when I'd fly away.
But you need to know that I'm coming back.
Don't want to push and pull anymore,
just to get what I want, when you bring it all to me.
You said you always wanted someone to tell you it's OK.
Well, I guess it's my chance to tell everyone everything.
Can we talk about this?
Give me the chance and we'll fly away.
Can we walk around this?
Give me the chance and we'll fly away.
{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor}
You hate yourself, so you hate everybody else
People can make you feel small
Small is a size when age just won't rise fast enough
So you wait for the day, to be up get away
Run run as fast as you can
Over and Over and Over the hill far away
[CHORUS:]
Runaway
Is there something you're trying to say
Runaway
Please come home one day
Runaway
Is there something you're trying to say
Over and over and over and over again
I remember the day in a grey misty way
When we boarded the boat to the hook
I was sick to the sea that was beckoning me to it's end
In the light of the dawn, feeling ragged and worn
I pointed my thumb to the sky
Over and over and over that road again
[CHORUS]
Now in the light of experience
There's something I want to say
Now in the light of experience
There's nowhere to run to
If from yourself you're really running away
[CHORUS 2x]
There's no saving anything
Now we're swallowing the shine of the summer
There's no saving anything
How we swallow the sun
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I wont be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
But I won't be no runaway
Cause i wont run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
But what makes you think im enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We don't bleed when we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And it's taking forever
I'll go braving everything
With you swallowing the shine of the summer
I'll go braving everything
Through the shine of the sun
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
What makes you think im enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We dont bleed and we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We dont bleed when we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
[Intro:]
Run run
Run run
Just wanna run away
Run run
Just wanna run
Run run
[Verse 1:]
Babe give me a little space to breathe
Can't you see you're smotherin' me
You're like a leopard in a tree
You're watchin' me, you're stalkin' me
Fear is a plague growin' through your vains
Don't you infect me and make me feel the same
I'm going numb from all the change
[Chorus:]
Release me [x3]
Just release me
Hold on these walls are closing in on me I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl and you know it (hold on)
I need to tell you that girl you're just so (hold on [x2])
Sometimes I just wanna run away
Sometimes I, I just wanna run [x4]
[Verse 2:]
Babe can I have just one day in peace
Your constant naggin is killin' me
You're like a record on repeat [x3]
Your paranoia makes me I'll
It's a disease that slowly kills
Been here before but you do it still
[Chorus:]
Release me [x2]
Just release me
Hold on these walls are closing in on me I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl and you know it (hold on)
I need to tell you that girl you're just so (hold on [x2])
Sometimes I just wanna run away
Sometimes I, I just wanna run [x8]
[Chorus:]
Baby hold on
Hold on these walls are closing in on me I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl and you know it (hold on)
I need to tell you that girl you're just so (hold on)
Girl you're just so (hold on)
Girl you're just so (hold on)
[Outro:]
Run, run (hold on)
Run, run (hold on)
Run, run (hold on)
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together, while our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery, I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder, why
Why-why-why-why-why
She ran away, and I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway
Even from a thousand miles away
I hear the sounds
Feelin’ like the cold September rain
I’m feelin’ down
Need something to keep from goin’ insane
From losing ground
Wish I could runaway ‘til all this has gone away
Wake on a better day
I’m feeling like an old guitar that’s been thrown away
Sleep all the wrong away every night
‘Til the worst is over
Well I know that somewhere there’s a change
That’s meant for me
And I’m getting tired of the saying
It’s meant to be
Telling me I just got to believe
And you will see
Wish I could runaway ‘til all this has gone away
Wake on a better day
I’m feeling like an old guitar that’s been thrown away
Sleep all the wrong away every night
‘Til the worst is over
You ever feel that you want vacation
Ever feel that you wanna go
Do you feel like you’ve lost your patience
‘Cause where you’re headed no one knows
Wish I could runaway ‘til all this has gone away
Wake on a better day
I’m feeling like an old guitar that’s been thrown away
Sleep all the wrong away every night
‘Til the worst is over
I hear people talk
I see people walk
They seem so out of touch
I wanna get away so much
All the clockwork toys
Are making too much noise
It's the machinery
It's breaking down O' can't you see
Run runaway with me
The picture doesn't change
It's just a frozen frame
I wanna break the ice
I wanna go to paradise
There is nowhere to hide
I'll take you for a ride
But not if you kiss and tell
I don't mean on a carousel
One day I'm
To say my
Three wishes come true
Till then I pretend I'm
Escaping with you
Now that the hardest part is done
We'll have to face another one
And figure out what we'll both do and where
Each offer seems to promise new ways to separate us both
And I don't care what others think is best, I can't just watch you go
If we can stick together, we'll never be alone
We'll run away
Just leave this place
If you're here next to me there's nowhere I'd rather be
So we'll start tonight
Just leave behind
the lives we used to know and venture out to make it on our own
It'll just be harder if we wait.
More settled in with every day
It makes more sense for us to both start new
And the worst thing I'd imagine is to be stuck like this at home
And it might be rough at first but we'll have stories when we're old
If things start to break, we'll pack up and find another way
As I walk along, I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong,
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done together,While our hearts were young.
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are fallin'And I feel a pain.a-wishin you were here by me,
To end this misery,And I wonder, wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder,why, why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
And I wonder where she will stay, my little runaway,
Hello?
Is my daughter there?
She's 15 years old
Blue eyes, blonde hair
She's been away from home 'bout two or three day
To locate Rikk Agnew in California
Write a letter to me on a random chance of receiving some reply
You get one, suddenly it's and insta-romance, but you're a stranger in my eyes
Pull your rotting roots and proceed to bail on a journey guaranteed
Did ya' ever stop to think I could go to jail for your adolescent need?
[Chorus:]
Runaway, why don't you stay
Back where you belong
Feel ya' gotta run, feel ya' gotta play
But you're really much too young
I understand your impulsiveness
I've been there once before
But you're so blind to the fucking mess
That your loved one's can't ignore
Calls from worried mom, detectives, and your aunt
I don't really have the time
An innocent exchange of petty postal lust
Could turn into a nasty crime
So pull a U-Y, Louie, don't come my way
There's no place like home
No need to run, no reason to fly
But you still have to go, you still have to roam
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I don't know your reasons
I don't know your rhymes
I don't have the patience
And I don't have the time
You make me see red
You make me feel black
Don't ever get near me
Don't ever come back
I know what you're doing
It's somewhere I've been
I've seen it all happen
Again & again
I'm gonna say it once
And I'll make it clear
Go home! Do ya' hear me?
Get the hell out of here!
Can I get a minute
And a couple of seconds
Of your time
I know you probably hear
This everyday
No I ain't trying to come up at you
With a slick line
No no just listen to what I gotta say
Just one look at you
And I can tell that we
Click so perfectly
But how can I put into words
The way you make me feel inside
Butterflies, goosebumps, euphoria
Putting my emotions to work
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
Away
Girl I never seen an aura
With a brighter shine
I love the energy you radiate
No I don't wanna push myself
Across your borderline
But I just can't let you slip away
Just one look at you
And I can tell that we
Click so perfectly
But how can I put into words
The way you make me feel inside
Butterflies, goosebumps, euphoria
Putting my emotions to work
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
Away
Runaway runaway
Runaway runaway
Away
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
Girl, I want to be good to you
I never want to do you no harm
I'm caught up in those fascination
Coping with your alarms
Ignore life if you want to, babe
Do what you've got to do
I need some time in the countryside
I want to feel so brand new
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, angel
You make me run away
Runaway
I see your name on the walls again
I painted you on my toes
Celebrate to resuscitate
We'll drink to ourselves
You'd collect lovers like gemstones
You talk of them as your friends
Dangle me from your wristchain
Another one lost to the wills of change
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, baby
You make me run away
Runaway
Still, I try to be good to you
You'll always be my friend
I've spent some time to define my mind
I want to be someone new
Why don't we run away?
Why don't we run away
Yeah, we can run away, angel
Yeah, we could run away
Why don't we run away?
You make me run away, baby
I want to run away
If I dreamed, I would dream of you.
If I live I would, live for you.
There comes a time when we must overcome our fears.
Fall on our face and let love reveal.
You are the light in the darkness father.
Every new day that you start
Plans the minute you're flagging your heart, heart
Where you waking up today
My little runaway?
Every red eye that you cross
Makes the next feel serious
Where you waking up today
My little runaway?
My little runaway
My little runaway
My little runaway
Every silver shell that you crush
Will be enough
Where you gonna sleep today
My little runaway?
When you feel like everyone
Wants to kill the unicorn
Where you waking up today
My little runaway?
My little runaway
My little runaway
My little runaway
she had a dream that dated back to school in a time when things faded out so chased it with desire set the world on fire left all her friends and family behind pictures made her dirty movies far from clean did the things she thought she'd never do stepping-stones to glory spiral down to hell cover up the wounds they won't come clean electrified enough money buys too many bills it's time to kill lucky i resist all temptations revolving doors go round her appearance worse a need a scene that's hard to be noticed do everything to chase her dream living only to touch the moon but you never leave the ground they'll try to take away your will try to push you down purified not so qualified ever since the day that it changed your life terrified by the world outside they told me that i would never fit in next time i think i'll run away
Alright, now take one look at me,
Cause it's the last you'll ever see because I'm leaving tonight.
And just think about it, you'll never have to be embarrassed,
In front of your friends and family again, so enjoy it.
And the air will be better,
It will feel much thinner.
There will be no more excuses,
And no more covering up your face.
And I'm going to run away with my baby,
Get married and maybe someday we'll have kids that you'll never meet.
And I'm gonna tell them stories of how the grandpa would bathe in the glory of all his power,
And use his fake friends.
And see the air will be better,
It will feel much thinner.
It will feel like heaven.
It will feel so good when I am gone.
Now see I don't know what you think, you're just a kid.
Only 18, where do you think you're going?
See, you've got nothing to stand on,
You don't have a better place to live.
And you'll be wishing that you never left.
And the air will be thicker,
It will be hard to breathe sometimes.
You won't know what hit you,
You'll be sad and lonely before you know it.
Now, don't go make a decision that's going to leave your life down a collision course of failure.
But you're a grown up now, you're 18.
Just don't come running back to me when you need something,
My door is locked.
And the air will be humid,
It will give you headaches.
It will make you sweat.
It will be a mistake if you go,
And I won't be there to cover up your tracks no more.
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
You can't scare me anymore.
And I don't need this in my life,
I don't need it anymore.
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
You can't scare me anymore.
And I don't need this in my life,
I don't need it anymore.
Goodbye.
I would give my life for you
You mean the world to me
Baby baby baby babe
You know I love you (uh huh Come on yea yea)
And I wanna be together when you runaway (Its NB Ryders)
Just me and you (Same Klick new title)
Just you and me
Will you runaway with me
The day I wrote these words for you I cried
Could of died that day a happy and complete man
Cuz in the palm of my hands
Everything that I dreamed for and more
And you know I'm down for yours
Forever and life the reason I made you my wife is because
You see me for me the real me and love me unconditionally
And even with the circumstances that I had you still gave me a chance
And that's why I live and breathe for you and the kids
And you give me more than what this thing could ever give to me
And now my life is satisfied and complete visions all coming true
Yea of me and you placing rings on each others fingers saying "I do"
You stuck with me through my thick and my thin to go back and live life over again
Nah this is my destiny it was worth the agony to get the ecstasy.
We can runaway and spend some time
I'll always be the one right by your side
Tell the whole world you belong to me
You are my everything
I wanna run away with you
do do do do do do do do
I never ever met a shorty that was quite like you
And even tho it was wrong I fell in love with you
Now we sit here not really knowing what to do
But I'm sure that you know I'll give the world for you
If I could runaway with you I wouldn't even think twice
I promise girl I'll put it all on the line
I know forever seems to be a long time
But thats what I'm seeing when I look into your eyes
And it don't matter what your friends might say
Cuz I know deep inside you feel the same way
You could tell me what u want but I could read your mind
So quit lying to yourself and put hand mine
I get excited everytime you come close
And being right here with you is what I love the most
So any time your feeling lonely inside
We could runaway together and leave this world behind
We can runaway and spend some time
I'll always be the one right by your side
Tell the whole world you belong to me
You are my everything
I wanna run away with you
do do do do do do do do
Waking up in the morning and your still not there
Can't we runaway and escape somewhere
Missing your soft touch your lips next to mine
Holdin up your hands as you look in my eyes
What must of happened to the love we both felt inside
Emotions were strong and the feeling was right
Now we don't speak anymore you went your own way
And thats what loves about then I was meant left
Go ahead and take your time if thats what you need
My loves for you forever my heart for you bleeds
Things happen for a reason so I ask my self should I be strong
And wait or move on to some one else
I know you still love me I could feel it inside
You always kept it real no games no lies
If your ever feelin lonely feel the need to get away
Call me up I'll be there together we'll run away girl
We can runaway and spend some time
I'll always be the one right by your side
Tell the whole world you belong to me
You are my everything
I wanna run away with you
As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
[Musitron solo]

Early mornin, stiff as dawn and 'em, cuz a brother give the mornin off
And then we doin' in, paranoid to new swearin'
I said meet me in the lobby skip, so one could cut down on the cherry tip
Alright, he flyin' scat, to being fair to show a mighty that
La Di Da Di wanted Gotti and although depended on the body and
Who I know was gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know she's gonna be wit him, so hallelujah, praise God King
Checked it out, even candle light I figured out
Better handle it my nigga, in
I think the best thing is to block her out
'Cause she doesn't give a fuck about
So much change and true it in, you would of cared to wish the union
She's not a phony, turn the Sony off, you better overcome the lonely of
Although a brother lettin' that, thus don't know where I'm headin' at
To see, even though we fought of it by bother just the very thought of it
When I know she's gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know she's gonna be wit him, so hallelujah, praise God King
And I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, can't believe that this is happenin'
Well, I should say fine and phone wit coin
But though you say that I'm the only one
What, behind my back thinkin' of, or father not the one I'm thinkin' of
On this stress, and when it's gonna end down
Wit this burden here I'm wonderin'
I know I should say fine fed it, yeah and think about all the girls ahead of ya
Though hard for me to just forget he and try to follow to the letter end
Although the terrible things we riff about or follow wise that I can live it out
When I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, so Hallelujah, praise God King
When I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, can't believe this is happenin'
I know you're gonna runaway, I know you're gonna be wit him
Seems I know you're gonna runaway, I know you're gonna be wit him
tonight i'll run away
tonight i'll run away
tonight will be the night
that i learn to fly
i'll learn to fly, run away
catch me - catch me
tonight i'll explore my life.
no it's finally time to let
out all the bothers me
and push all my anger away.
like a small wanderer only to next door,
but now i'm up and wondering aobut a lot mre,
From London to Paris
From Berlin to Rome
You're searching for something
A place to call home
Been hiding your feelings
Went out of control
Your destinations unknown
Tell me
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Runaway from love (runaway)
A new town, a new place
A knock on the door
You came as a stranger and entered the door
The moment I saw you, I knew it for sure
You won't pack your bags anymore
Tell me
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Runaway from love (runaway)
I know you don't want to be a bother
Though your love's so undiscovered
I want you to stay boy
Stop running from love
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Do you ever think about running away
'cause i was thinkin' about leavin' today
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names
Then things might change for the good
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too long
Too long, oh no
Do you ever think about not comin' back
Hoppin' on a train and we'll burn up the tracks
We'll jump off somewhere that we don't know how to say
Maybe hitch a ride from someone who can tell us the way
To where these things might change for the good
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Where forever is never too long
Not with you right here by me
Maybe, maybe we'll just see
Where this road will lead for us
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Forever is never too long
I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run away
No sense of time
Like you to stay
Want to keep you inside
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize
I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Like you to stay
Want to keep you inside
All alone
Not so strong without these open arms
Hold on tight
All alone
Not that strong without these open arms
Lie beside
All alone
Not so strong without these open arms
Lie beside
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Come on boy, I wanna dance now
Line by line we talk all night, yeah
Hold me down, I think, I'm flying
Everybody's eyes are shining
Runaway to where the world is fine
Hold on boy, you're falling fast now
Line by line you go no where, yeah
Drag me down I feel, I'm sinking
Can't relate to what you're thinking
Runaway to where the sun don't shine
Hello, hello, are you still there?
You don't answer me 'cause you just don't care
Act so young but you look so old
And you're too far gone to find your own way home
Life's so hard for you to handle
You can't live without your devil
Boy, you think that you're so special
Well, life is hard for everyone, believe me
Hello, hello, do you still care?
You don't answer me 'cause there's no one there
Run away from your own sweet soul
And you're too far gone to find your own way home
Hello, hello, are you still there?
You don't answer me 'cause you just don't care
Act so young but you look so old
rock and roll
as i walk along I wonder,
what went wrong with our love,
a love that was so strong
and as i still walk, i think of what we done together, while our hearts were young
i'm walking in the rain, tears are falling and i feel the pain wishing you were here by me to end this misery
and i wonder, why why why why why why, why why why why why
she ran away and i wonder, were she will stay
my little runaway, run run run run runaway
lets go,
rock and roll
i'm walking in the rain, tears are falling and i feel the pain,
wishing you were here by me to end this misery
and i wonder, why why why why why why, why why why why why
she ran away and i wonder, were she will stay
my little runaway, run run run run runaway
CuÌdame bien, lo mÌo es serio,
quiero que estÈs a mi lado esta vez
Voy a fumar mientras te espero,
Voy a formar, un espacio mejor
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Voy a escribir con nubes tu nombre,
voy a soñar con tu cara hoy,
voy a pedir que nunca te vayas
quiero escuchar, m·s palabras de amor.
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
(BIS)
CuÌdame bien, que siempre me pierdo
Quiero que estÈs, a mi lado esta vez
Voy a tomar tu mano en mi mano,
para formar un espacio mejor
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
Runa, runa, runa runaway, away
(BIS)
Away, away away
Away, away away
CuÌdame, cuidame bien, que lo mÌo es serio
It’s funny I never thought that I’d be homeless
I used to walk by them, now I’m living on the corners
Stretching for a touch of a hand, a dollar bill or a chance
Give me your sandwich bag, man I’ll do anything
With thoughts of desperation my hearts racing
I’m not star gazing I could die of starvation
Hallucinated from the day’s wasted
Lost track of time while my mind aging
People looking at me like a lost patient
Like I’m already dead why they all hating
Did I choose this life, or life choose me
I ran away at sweet 16 mommy do you miss me, this is Krissy
So I run, and I run, and I ran and I ran praying maybe some day we meet again
Cause It hurts when you hurt, and I hurt and I feel, like I’m healed can we all just make a mends
I run and I run and I run, and I run
Good bye to the world, good bye to my girl
Say hello to my home the street corner
Its absurd every word that was spoken
It must come alive cause my life is still broken
Wondering did I miss it, what mistake did I make? Can I fix it?
These streets of gone ballistic
This isn’t what I thought it would be, where’s daddy
Is he still mad at me, I wonder would he have me
Back in the home, back in the zone, back where I can’t eat
Where’s there’s heat and use a phone
Cause it hurts and I know I never said good bye
I ran away I thought like anything I could fly
Mom and dad are you there, are you listening
I want to come home, but scared of the mess I’m in
Please forgive me of the things I committed
Against you against me, our family tree
And I know we haven’t spoke in so long, I was so wrong
To think I could live on, on my own accord
I’m a take the train home, but I need to know
If you’ll welcome me back through your life’s door?
Show me a sign with a red ribbon, hang one on the side of the train building
And if I see it than I’ll know that your still willing,
And if not I won’t ever call or visit
I’ll pretend that I’m re-living the beginning,
Like when we used talk in the kitchen, without all the fights & friction
This is me wishing, one of your ex children
Picturing praying that you got the same feelings,
[Verse 1:]

Without You..(Without You)
Beside Me¥
I can't be where I am, I've gotta get away
Somewhere as far as I can from you
Somehow it is very clear
I'm getting bored very easily
Maybe somewhere else everybody will be more friendly
And I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, runaway, runaway with my new man any day
Sneaking through them all, that's what it comes down to
No one is around in the morning, I can't help feeling so blue
I'm walking on down the sidewalk,I really know what it's like to be alone now,
But my heart starts beating out (loud?) when those kids drive by me in their car
And I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, with my true love any day
Runaway,
runaway...I just wanna get away from everything I know
Runaway, as far as I can go
Runaway, runaway,
I always wanted you by my side
I felt you were my guide
The one who showed me what`s right
I used to think that you were my light
And trusted in your smile
But now you have decide
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Searching everyday, try to find your way
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Wanna find you, oh baby wanna
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Everything is grey, miss you more each day
Runaway, runaway, runaway
I will find you, you`ll never runaway
I always wanted you by my side
I felt you were my guide
The one who show me what`s right
I used to think that you were my light
And trusted in your smile
But now you have decide
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Searching everyday, try to find your way
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Wanna find you, oh baby wanna
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Everything is grey, miss you more each day
Runaway, runaway, runaway
I will find you, you`ll never runaway
I`m running now, I`m running away
Searching for, searching for your smile
Every hour I`m looking for you
I`m looking for you, I`m looking for you
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Searching everyday, try to find your way
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Wanna find you, oh baby wanna
Runawaaaaay
(Searching everyday, try to find your way)
Oh baby, baby … runawaaay
you have stripped my heart of all it's parts
and gave away the scrap for free
you have sold your soul for some control
and gnawed at the hands that tried to love and feed
you are crying out to end the drought
yet it's not your blood that filled this sea
all of the mistakes left in your wake
they all remind me of a younger me
to the parasites that have come and gone
this is your farewell song
to the parasites that have come and gone
this is your farewell song
Runaway
As I walk along, I wonder
A what went wrong whit our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on
I think of the thing's we've done
Together, while our hearts were young
I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
A wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder, I wa wa wa wa wonder
Why a why why why why why
she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
My run run run run runaway
I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
A wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder, I wa wa wa wa wonder
Why a why why why why why

and I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
A run run run run

And I wonder a where she will stay
My little runaway
As I walk along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With our love, a love that was so strong.
And as I still walk on,
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young.
I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,

Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--

Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
(feat. Mike Herrera Of Mxpx)
I can’t give you the moment, the chance to be right
I won’t save this for tonight
I can’t give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight
I can’t say that I’m scared as this pain sets me free
I have lived without love, without all that I need
See the marks that I bare, and the shame that runs deep
You have made every moment so worthless to me and
I can’t understand this at all
Runaway from this life,
Is so far from the things that I know (won't let go)
Get away from this fight, I don’t want to give in or let go
I won’t let go
I can’t say that I’m proud, as this pain spreads through me
I have said my last words, I have thrown out the keys
I get back to despair, as my eyes fall asleep
Now our dreams come to ends, I am so incomplete and
I can’t comprehend this at all
Runaway from this life,
Is so far from the things that I know (that I know)
Get away from this fight, I don’t want to give in or let go
I won’t let go
I can’t give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight
Runaway from this life,
Is so far from the things that I know
Get away from this fight, I don’t want to give in or let go
Runaway from this life,
Is so far from the things that I know (won't let go)
Get away from this fight, I don’t want to give in or let go
Last scene
Downtown Seattle
Nineteen
Runaway child
Floating over
A lifetime of hurting
Searching to make it all right
Its easy
All she wants is to know
A love that wont go
Pure as the midnight
Snow falling
Downtown in Jackson
She had to move on
The baby was due
And she needed
A magical moment
To wash away
Her last memories
Its easy
All she wants is to know
A love that wont go
A feeling Ive always known
Last seen
High in the desert
She joined a clan
Of mystical wanna-bes
But light shined
And the Seer was seen
So she closed her eyes
And dived back in a dream
Its easy
All she wants is to know
A love that wont go
She was the last one to know
But she dont let it show
Why don't we...Why don't we
Why don't we...Why don't we
Take me away
Release me from the cage
Free me from the pain
And let me feel no shame
The stars spin circles around the bad times
You splashed your water on my fire sign
The fortune teller told us to unwind
Come on run away
Runaway...Runaway...Runaway
Why don't we
Why don't we
I've felt invisible for a long time
This town will smother what's left of mine
Untaken chances come back to life
Come on run away
Runaway...Runaway...Runaway
I've been I've been all
I've been I've been all
I've been I've been all around the world dream
Let's go free...Let's go free
Why don't we...Why don't we
You've been saying that you want to go
I'm finally ready to let go
Let's go...Let's go...Let's go
I am finally ready
Take me away
Release me from the cage
Free me from the pain
And let me feel no shame
Let's go free...Let's go free
shoot out the lights
and then you said,
"we've stayed high
too long here in the sky"
you shoot out the lights
i had to see the big star rising
there's nothing to fear
'cause nothing can bring us down
now that we've made it here
nothing to fear
nothing but the big star rising
work my fingers to the bone
so we could get this high
but we still can't fly
i feel like coming down
you're still, still hanging around
my feet back on the ground
so i can runaway
i wanna runaway
i feel like coming down
you're still, still hanging around
my feet back on the ground
so i can runaway
i wanna runaway
nothing for free
my hands will reach up so high
to bring you down with me
nothing for free
i wanna see the big star rising
i don't mind the heat
not even your flames will burn
as long as i can see
i don't mind the heat
i had to see the big star rising
work my fingers to the bone
so we could get this high
but we still can't fly
i feel like coming down
you're still, still hanging around
my feet back on the ground
so i can runaway
i wanna runaway
i feel like coming down
you're still, still hanging around
my feet back on the ground
so i can runaway
i wanna runaway
i wanna runaway.
Face down; this is where it leads you - too far.
Buried covered now, you'll find peace - in the earth aground.
Stop now, there's no point in breathing - it's not allowed.
On the surface, how can you find - reason to move on?
Until then you can runaway.
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best;
I know you get what you get - you get what you deserve.
Hush now, yeah don't say a word - its out in the open,
And tell me how can you deal with all this wait?
Speak now, you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.
Until then you can runaway,
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get you - get what you deserve.
Speak now you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.
Until then you can runaway,
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best,
I know you get what you get and all you get what you,
You get what you get, you get what you,
There's a reason to live and there's a reason to die
There's a reason to stay and there's a reason to fly
You don' know what you want but you can't say goodbye
There's a reason to give and there's a reason to try now
It's all gone and you're feeling alone
You can't look back but you can't go home
you just can't take this another day
But there's no one to blame cuz you're runnin away
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
you run away
You're so damn scared of settling down
You try to make it right but keep messin around
You're getting the bills but forgetting to pay
And you're trying your best to stop running away
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
All in do time for you my friend
Everything comes 'round in the end
All in do time for you my friend
Everything comes 'round in the end
Pretty soon there'll be nowhere to run
No more friends and no more fun
The future looks bleak and the sky is grey
But you're sick and tired of motherfucking runnin away now
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
Way, way, way, way you run away
So is there anywhere you want to go?
She says any place is home
But is there anywhere you want to go?
Her crooked smile, how about Mexico?
We'll get back
You will surely be, you'll be the death of me
Yeah, you are surely all the better parts of me
So get back
They won't take us alive
I don't even think I saw it coming
No they won't take us alive
You're the ending of the movie,
The one I meant to see
You're the ending of the movie,
The kind that fucks with your head
We'll get back
Oh here we go all the same,
But do you ever get outside your brain?
Oh here we go, all the same
I'll be around for a couple of days
So get back
They won't take us alive
I don't even think I saw it coming
No they won't take us alive
As I walk along I wonder
what went wrong with our love
a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
the things we've done together
while our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
to end this misery
And I wonder, I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
Why, why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder, where she will stay
If you could read between the lines
You would know that time's not on our side
Gotta go, the world is moving, moving
Gotta go, the world is moving way too fast
So now what can I say?
Let's focus, let's focus
We can runaway, we can runaway
There's no reason why we should stay
We can runaway, we can runaway
'Coz there's no reason why we should stay
It's time to draw the line
Cross the borders and cross the signs
We live the lives to save ourselves
It's time to draw the lines
Cross the borders and cross the signs
We live our lives to save ourselves
So now what can I say?
Let's focus, let's focus
We can runaway, we can runaway
There's no reason why we should stay
We can runaway, we can runaway
'Coz there's no reason why we should stay
If we get there, we'll be okay
If we get there, we'll be okay
So now what can I say?
Let's focus, let's focus
We can runaway, we can runaway
There's no reason why we should stay
We can runaway, we can runaway
[Devlin Verse 1]
A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise
I woke and rolled over and told my girl we're leaving
It's time to sacrifice a lot
cause you ain't happy with your job
and round here it's like nothin' seems appealing
So let me know you feel the same
throw your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,
then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
and would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.
and if I dissappear for years and reappear
would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?
Or would I have lost clarity?
In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually
[Yasmin - Chorus]
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
there's nothing here for me no more
I gotta be free, I gotta be
somewhere that I can just be me.
and I run run runaway, run run runaway,
run run runaway, I runaway.
[Devlin Verse 2]
We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station
purchase two tickets to an alien destination
Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races
but not me and my girl we're breaking free
like an escapist, cuz we need to escape this
and I for one have got my mind made up,
even if where we stay is make-shift
I can't remain in this domain of semi ape sh-t, because all I see is hatred
I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me
or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?
I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
and vanish off the planet like a mystery.
and if I did return would things be the same or worse?
You see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels
Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel
[Chorus]
[Devlin Verse 3]
As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay
'Coz if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid
and left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
But now I've come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across my face
The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates
If I could runaway and come back another day,
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.
Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.
If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day
While I roll upon the roads along the motorway
As I walk along, I wonder
Oh, what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on
I think of the things we've done together
Oh, while our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
A wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder, oh where she will stay, yay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway
I'm a-walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
A wishing you were here by me to end this misery
I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder, oh where she will stay, yay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway
Chorus:
Run run run runaway with me
It's time to let your heart run free
So run run run runaway with me
Forever we will be
Run runaway
Run runaway
Verse1:
When I saw you dance all alone
That's what I knew, I was coming home
No more lies, no more tears
I need to have you here
Bridge:
I want what you want
You need what I need
Give it to the way we feel tonight
And runaway
Chorus
Run runaway
Run runaway
Verse2:
Take my soul, take my heart
This could be heaven right from the start
I'll touch you here, I'll touch you there
Wanna kiss your body everywhere
Bridge
And runaway
Chorus
Run runaway
Run runaway
You and me
We don't care what friends may say
Take our love and run runaway
You and me
Should be together night and day
Share in our love and run runaway
Bridge
I'm drowning myself once again
Of fighting until to the end
I'm dying to feel once again
But I time to slip it away
Time to consumed another day
I'm tired of being just to sing
(Chorus)
I know that I do not deserve you
This time I'm falling away now
Goodbye I never meant to hurt
Cause this time I'm running away now
Run... Run... Run...
I watching the light mess my eye
Is this is signal to goodbye
Or should I ignore all the signs
I'm pretending to be in my own
But I'm guess you waiting to hate this song
I taking the sense of my own
(Chorus)
I know that I do not deserve you
This time I'm falling away now
Goodbye I never meant to hurt
Cause this time I'm running away now
Run... Run... Run...
Can you paint me a sky?
With dark violet clouds like your eyes
I'll be a star that lost all it's lights in the night
If I turn on my back would you react from this pain?
I'm lost and abused loss and confused to your mind
So I said...
(Chorus)
I know that I do not deserve you
This time I'm falling away now
Goodbye I never meant to hurt
Cause this time I'm running away now
Dear insatiable,
We're watching while our future disappears.
It's damn regrettable.
There's nothing here to do to pass the years
But join the status quo.
And wait to die a mile away from here.
We just got to go now.
I will wait for you to run away.
I will take the chains that make you stay,
Break them off, and make our getaway...
So hold on, hold on tight.
Dear Miss all-the-way,
Will you regret when all that's left are scars?
And are we tempting fate,
Denying where we come from is who we are?
Yeah we will disobey,
And break the rules before they break our hearts.
We know who we are now.
We know who we are,
We know who we are now.
I will wait for you to run away.
I will take the chains that make you stay,
Break them off, and make our getaway...
So hold on, hold on tight.
Just hold on.
We've got to find our way out now before we become
All of our fear rolled into one.
You know we're not looking back now,
We've got to believe.
We're going to leave it all behind.
You'll see.
I will wait for you to run away.
I will take the chains that make you stay,
Break them off, and make our getaway.
So hold on.
I will wait for you to run away.
I will take the chains that make you stay,
Break them off, and make our getaway.
So hold on, hold on tight.

Sometimes I feel like I wanna runaway
Pack my things and make a quick getaway
From the drama surrounding, and the world around me
Sometimes I feel like I wanna runaway
Pack my things and make a quick getaway
But my heart keeps punding, and it wont allow me
I need some time to get away from the problems in my life
To relieve my mind and put aside all of this shit attackin me inside
All of this drama surrounding me, drives me crazy constantly
I just need some time to breathe and take my mind off of everything
Try to keep it behind me, but I'm always reminded
Of everything that bothers me, like you can't take breaks from reality
Just keep on moving and keep on doing what will keep my life running smoothly
Just a moment to relax, sit back alone, no one to bother me, I'll finally be free
I gotta runaway
Gotta do it now
Gotta find some time alone somehow
I gotta runaway
Gotta do it now
Gonna make it all work out
I would leave My world behind
Give up everything that’s mine
If I could know you
I would leave behind My home
Enter your world all alone
If I could find you
It doesn’t matter if you run away
It doesn’t matter if you hide
I would leave my world far behind
This love inside of Me; it’s never gonna die
And I don’t care how far away you roam
No I don’t care how far away you roam
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I would love to see our name
Engraved upon a picture frame
On my mantle
I would love to see your face
Every morning as you wake up
To see Me
I just wish that I could talk to you
Because I love you more than life
Behind the Song:
"This song was one of my first attempts at the treacherous art form of writing from God’s perspective. What is very interesting to me is how my theology has evolved since the time I wrote it. My original lyric But that won’t happen if you run away changed to It doesn’t matter if you run away. A line that said Until I find you wandering alone changed to I don’t care how far away you roam. I loved this song and wanted to record the original version as a little tribute to the past, but that would have meant singing lyrics that I didn’t really believe anymore. What I do believe is that it doesn’t matter if we run away or hide. I don’t believe that God can’t find us if we run away, and I don’t believe God has to search for us, as if He didn’t know exactly where we are and what we’re doing. Like the father of the prodigal son, He comes running out with open arms and always welcomes His wayward children back home." - Aaron Shust
No need to talk it out
Around the walkabout
It takes your breath away
Takes it so far away
Nowhere we have to be
One for the company
Oh look, a runaway
A Roman holiday
We could trade places A B C
Cover the bases 1 2 3
I could be you and you'd be me
Go in, go out, go in, go out – yeah
Set the alarm for Fri, Sat, Sun
Beating the countdown, jump the gun
Paradise lost and look who won
Go in, go out, go in, go out – yeah
The bastard of the brood
Living in solitude
They threw it all away
And took a holiday
You ask so pretty please
To get ahead of me
Oh yes, oh probably
So much for subtlety
We could trade places A B C
Cover the bases 1 2 3
I could be you and you'd be me
Go in, go out, go in, go out – yeah
Set the alarm for Fri, Sat, Sun
Beating the countdown, jump the gun
Paradise lost and look who won
Go in, go out, go in, go out – yeah
If I had it my way, my way again
It would come in a spray
Make tomorrow today, today again
Make tomorrow today
If I had it my way, my way again
It would come in a spray
Make tomorrow today, today again
Make tomorrow today
We could trade places A B C
Cover the bases 1 2 3
I could be you and you'd be me
Go in, go out, go in, go out – yeah
Set the alarm for Fri, Sat, Sun
Beating the countdown, jump the gun
Paradise lost and look who won
I won't pretend
That I did the best I can
It's an awful shame
But am I to blame
Like a train crash we collide into each other
How good it looks, from afar
I said some things just to comfort your heart
And it's late at night and I wonder where you are
(I know there must be something wrong)
I'm being played for a fool yes I know but I'm not one for letting go
Cause I don't like where its going
And it's bound to get deeper
And it's never gonna get any better unless we try
You said I don't like this
Well I don't either
Well pardon me if I just don't suffice
I won't pretend
That I did the best I can
My mind is set and it's full of regret
And I say bye bye (and I say bye bye)
And I say bye bye to love
And it's late at night and I wonder where you are
(I know there must be something wrong)
I'm being played for a fool yes I know but I'm not one for Letting go
Cause I don't like where it's going
And it's bound to get deeper
And it's never gonna get any better unless we try
You said I don't like this
Well I don't either
Well pardon me if I just don't suffice
Run Away
Run Away
Run Away
Run A-Way
Cause I don't like where it's going
And it's bound to get deeper
And it's never gonna get any better unless we try
You said I don't like this
Well I don't either
She plays it so dramatic, a silhouette of soul
It's automatic, he won't ever let go
She wants a tender lover, a clean and honest man
Why she keeps on running, I just don't understand
Chorus:
Runaway, why do you run away, come on stay, just stay tonight
Runaway, you're just a runaway, come on stay, it'll be alright
In between the faces and on the out-of-bounds
They could find the places no one else could have found
Now she's in expectation and he's in search of truth
A simple soul equation, one and one heart is two
(chorus)
Now she's walking down a fine line, she told him what would happen next time
She's gonna run away
(Solo)
Runaway, why do you run away, come on stay, just stay with me tonight
Runaway, why do you run away, oh stay one more night
Runaway, come on stay, just stay with me tonight
Runaway, come on stay, it'll be alright
Runaway, you gotta stay, just stay one more night
[Chorus:]
I you leave your girl I'll my leave my man
Let's pack our things we don't need no plans
Let's runaway to another place
Grab your things I'll grab mine too
Your girl can't do it like I do
Let's runaway
Let's runaway
[Verse 1:]
She can't(she can't)
Do it like I do
I bet if you sit down and compare
No ones better for you (no ones better for you)
Than me (then me)
Can't you see'
Suga
You been hurting for to long
Why let her do you wrong
You see how it supposed to be
When leave and come with me
[Chorus:]
I you leave your girl I'll my leave my man
Let's pack our things we don't need no plans
Let's runaway to another place
Grab your things I'll grab mine too
Your girl can't do it like I do
Let's runaway
Let's runaway
[Verse 2:]
You told me that she cheating
And your afraid to pack leave
And start brand new
Make plans to
Forget everything you been through
But she's that who's breaking your heart
I promise if leave I'll never part
From you
Make sure that you'd be like
She's never loved you before
[Chorus:]
I you leave your girl I'll my leave my man
Let's pack our things we don't need no plans
Let's runaway to another place
Grab your things I'll grab mine too
Your girl can't do it like I do
Let's runaway
She stands alone again at night
The darkness calling her name
The light's on but there's nothing inside
She waits outside for someone to blame
She falls down on her knees
And she cries
She doesn't wanna be alone again
And the streets keep calling her name
She only has to reach out and then
She could write the rules of the game
If she could only stop the hands of time
She could changeher whole damn life
She would find a paradise
To runaway
She fells a breeze and opens her eyes
She wakes up in a white bed
By the beach there's a change in the tides
Love gave her life instead
She looks up to the sky
She knows why
She doesn't wanna be alone again
And the streets keep calling her name
She only has to reach out and then
She could write the rules of the game
If she could only stop the hands of time
She could changeher whole damn life
She would find a paradise
To runaway
They always told her
That this was all she could be
She once was blind
But then life taught her
How to see
She had to believe
She doesn't wanna be alone again
And the streets keep calling her name
She only has to reach out and then
She could write the rules of the game
If she could only stop the hands of time
She could changeher whole damn life
She would find a paradise
Shoot out the lights
And then you said,
"We've stayed high
Too long here in the sky"
You shoot out the lights
I had to see the big star rising
There's nothing to fear
'cause nothing can bring us down
Now that we've made it here
Nothing to fear
Nothing but the big star rising
Work my fingers to the bone
So we could get this high
But we still can't fly
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
Nothing for free
My hands will reach up so high
to bring you down with me
Nothing for free
I wanna see the big star rising
I don't mind the heat
Not even your flames will burn
As long as I can see
I don't mind the heat
I had to see the big star rising
Work my fingers to the bone
So we could get this high
But we still can't fly
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I feel like coming down
You're still, still hanging around
My feet back on the ground
So I can runaway
I wanna runaway
I don't believe in all the words that I read.
I've been stuck between the lines.
Life in the middle is never what it could be.
Empty faces mirror mine.
So come with me we'll drive straight through the night.
We'll leave this world behind baby.
Turn up my song is on the radio.
Innuendos go anywhere you wanna go.
Hit the window and feel the summer wind blow.
Everything will be alright.
Runaway with me tonight.
I don't believe in all the rumors I hear.
They'll tear your world apart.
Tracing circles doesn't bring us any closer.
Hear your voice on the phone
And my heart just died when you said you're not going home.
Where are you? Are you safe?
Are you trying to escape from what you can't undo
Hoping that the world forgets you?
But I can't, no I won't forget you
Everywhere that you turn
Somehow every face is another bridge that you burn
So you think you can't stay
If you could find another life in another place
And hope the world forgets your name
But I can't, no I won't forget you
I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey Hey Hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey Hey Hey
You don't have to runaway
You think you lost it all
And there's nothing left of you
There's nowhere you can fall
But love will catch you (love will catch you)
But love will catch you (love will catch you)
Love will catch you (love will catch you)
Hear your voice on the phone
And my heart just died when you said you're not going home.
[Chorus:]
I just wanna go
Run away with you
Girl let's go and see
All the lovely things I wanna show you
Girl just come with me
You need someone that'll be there for you
To give you what you need
Let me be the one
[Verse 1:]
Loving you is all I ever wanna do girl
Cause no one else can make me feel that special way inside
And when you need someone to brighten up your rainy days
See you don't have to call cause I will be right by your side
Cause no one else can feel your needs the way I do girl
I've been watching you for quite a long time now
And let me take you on a journey through the clouds above
Tour the heavens, makin love all night
Just run away
[Chorus:]
I just wanna go
Run away with you
Girl let's go and see
All the lovely things I wanna show you
Girl just come with me
You need someone that'll be there for you
To give you what you need
Let me be the one
[Verse 2:]
No wrongs can change my feelings for I've grown to see through
And show no shame,
Even walk a mile deliver to you
You're so incredible
Your tenderness
No time for noone else
Cause you I trust the best
Give me your hand
Cause I just wanna run away with you
Our love won't end
Cause every day is a holiday
Give me your hand
Cause I just wanna run away with you
Our love won't end
Cause every day is a holiday
[Chorus: x2]
I just wanna go
Run away with you
Girl let's go and see
All the lovely things I wanna show you
Girl just come with me
You need someone that'll be there for you
To give you what you need
Let me be the one
[x2:]
Take my hand
I'll show you the way
Love is at your discretion
[Chorus:]
I just wanna go
Run away with you
Girl let's go and see
All the lovely things I wanna show you
Girl just come with me
You need someone that'll be there for you
To give you what you need
