Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was feelin' sad, can't help lookin' back

Highways flew by

Run, run away, no sense of time

Want you to stay, want to keep you inside

[Verse 2]

Run, run, run away, lost, lost, lost my mind

Want you to stay, want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away, lost, lost, lost my mind

Want you to stay, want you to be my prize

[Verse 3]

I was feelin' sad, can't help lookin' back

Highways flew by

Run, run away, no sense of time

Want you to stay, want to keep you inside

[Verse 4]

All along, not so strong without these open arms

Hold on tight

All along, not so strong without these open arms

Lie beside

All along, not so strong without these open arms

Right beside

[Verse 5]

Run, run, run away, lost, lost, lost my mind

Want you to stay, want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away, lost, lost, lost my mind

Want you to stay, want you to be my prize
