Runaway

California is a thousand miles away

Had to speak to mama before she took me away

Fears in the tears that she cried on that day

If a boy wants to feel, he’s gotta hide or run away

Now I'm way off track, and this weight on my back got me bleeding

I'm through with that balancing act I been keeping

Gotta run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away when it all gets too heavy

Run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away, and your heart just ain’t ready

Oh, yeah, mmm, yeah

California is a thousand miles away

Couldn’t speak to papa, tell me what does that little boy say?

Fears in the tears, they subside ‘cause I'm a man

If a boy wants to feel, he’s gotta hide, but it hurts him so bad

Now I'm way off track, this weight on my back got me bleeding

I'm through with that balancing act I been keeping

Gotta run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away when it all gets too heavy

Run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away, and your heart just ain’t ready

Oh-oh, ah, woah

Yeah

I'm way off track, this weight on my back got me bleeding

Now, oh, I'm through with that balancing act I been keeping

And I run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away when it all gets too heavy

Run away, ooh, run away, ooh, run away, and your heart just ain’t ready

Oh

Ah, ah, woah

Na-na-na-na

Run away, run away

Oh, oh, oh, no, no
