Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What was I thinkin'?
Flyin' away that night
What was I drinkin'?
Damn near made me lose my mind
Where was I going, what was I doing?
What was I hoping that I'd find?
What was I thinkin'?
Flyin' away that night
[Chorus]
From those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water
That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline
That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?
Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
Runnin', runnin'
[Verse 2]
I must've been crazy, trying to let you go
You were the only one thing my heart has ever known
You were the place I wanna lay my head
Instead I'm layin' down alone
I must've been crazy, tryin' to let go
[Chorus]
Of those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water
That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline
That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?
Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
[Bridge]
I must've been crazy (Runnin', runnin')
What was I thinkin'? (Runnin')
Yeah
[Chorus]
From those bright brown eyes shinin' like the storm settin' fire to the water
That sunrise smile lightin' up that Northwest coastline
That safe place kiss girl, how the hell did I not know?
Walkin' away from you was like runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
[Outro]
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin' away from home
Runnin', runnin'
