Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tell you I can visualize it all
Too real, it all seems
That once again
Running away with me
That once again
Running away with me
This couldn't be a dream
Running away with me
[Verse 2]
(Running away with me)
[Verse 3]
Let me stop myself for a minute
See if my heart's still in it
Say a few things just to win it
Funny how it works out, innit?
[Verse 4]
And I told her, "Some things have their time
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
She said, "They should take this pain, and give it a name"
(Running away with me)
[Verse 5]
Tonight
I wish I was your boy
I
Tonight
I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
[Verse 6]
Give yourself a new name
Change your voice on the train
Have a complain about your fame
Tell me that it's all a rigged game
[Verse 7]
She told me, "Some things just take time
How can you be sure if you won't try?"
She said "I guess I'll take this pain instead of your name"
(Running away with me)
[Verse 8]
Tonight
I wish I was your boy
I
Tonight
I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Running away with me)
[Verse 9]
And it's been playing on my mind
Fortunately, I've been to this place in my life
Far too many times
Sunday's nearly over
So I'll just lie awake
[Verse 10]
Tonight
I wish I was your boy, I
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
[Verse 11]
And tonight
I wish I was your boy
I
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Running away with me)
