Lyrics
[Intro]
Runaway
Right now, let's just runaway
All that talk is killing me
One last shot, hold onto me, ooh
[Verse 1]
There's something I got to say to ya
There's somewhere we gotta go
And now we're sinking in the sand, chasin' what we can
Baby, it's not enough
It's like we're stuck in the mezzanine
With twenty floors left to go, oh yeah
And now we're driving in the rain
Trying to switch the lane but you already know
[PreChorus]
So don't waste this time, yeah, I don't move slow
But one good shot and I'll let you know
It's all I want, yeah
Can we just let go and
[Chorus]
Runaway
Right now, let's just runaway
All that talk is killing me
One last shot hold onto me, oh
Babe, I think we should runaway
I'm my own worst enemy
Blue sky's only miles away
One last shot, hold onto me
[Verse 2]
There's something I got to say to you
I'm on that new energy, oh yeah
Not on that "easy as it goes", "wait for miracles"
No "what will be will be"
[PreChorus]
No, so don't waste this time, yeah, I don't move slow
But one good shot and I'll let you know
It's all I want, yeah
Can we just let go and
[Chorus]
Runaway
Right now, let's just runaway
All that talk is killing me
One last shot, hold onto me
Babe, I think we should runaway
I'm my own worst enemy
Blue sky's only miles away
One last shot, hold onto me, oh
Oh yeah
Ooh
One last shot, hold onto me, oh
[Chorus]
Runaway
Right now, let's just runaway
All that talk is killing me
One last shot, hold onto me, oh
