Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How long could you wait for someone you love?
Just looking for the tunnels of light coming down from above
I was waiting by the phone
The moment you called, the moment you gave
Just tell me all your secrets and lies, your barricades
[Verse 2]
When it gets dark, striking the youth
Holding me back from falling
Through tunnels of light emitted from you
I was waiting by the phone
The moment you call, the moment you gave
Where would I be without your
Secrets and lies, your barricades
[Verse 3]
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
[Verse 4]
A memory of you plucked from the pool
Just tell me have I met you before, did we play the fool
Serenade me while I sleep
Ripple the walls, keep us out of sight
My memory's playing tricks and games
The madness you loved, the tunnels of light
[Verse 5]
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away now, just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away now, don't run away now
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away now, don't run away now
Just barricade now, oh
[Verse 6]
How long could you wait for someone you love?
Just looking for the tunnels of light coming down from above
