Hold on
I'll be back for you
It won't be long
But for now there's something out there calling me
So take me down that lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
This suitcase weighs me down with memories
I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there with someone when the night comes
Let's pull all our cares bezhind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you when the night comes
When the night comes
Two spirits in the night
We could leave before the morning light
When there's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round
Then you and I we'll just roll right out of here
I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there with someone when the night comes
Let's pull all our cares bezhind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you when the night comes
When the night comes
I know there'll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Pick up all the pieces of this shattered dream
We're gonna make it ours some day
When we're coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes
I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you come to
I wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there with someone when the night comes
Let's pull all our cares bezhind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you when the night comes
When the night comes
