Lyrics

Runaway

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There are only two places I could go

One is dark and it feels so hollow

And it lets me in only to swallow

To much water until I drown, baby

And the other place is calm and sweet

I can almost feel wings beneath my feet

And I don't care if it feels too deep

I like it, I like it

And I know you wanna

Take a chance

And I know you wanna

Understand me and let me in

But you, runaway from what you know

And you, runaway from what you don't

I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind

Don't take the time

Show me your love tonight

There are only two places that I see

One is strong and the other one feels so weak

And this plan feels so strange to me

It's all I see, baby

And I know you wanna

Let it go

And I know you wanna

Flow this love but you can't

So you, runaway from what you know

And you, runaway from what you don't

I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind

Don't take the time

Show me your love tonight, oh yeah, tonight

All the angels know what I know

You're an angel that sings to me

It's the greatest secret of all

I am free from thinking

But you, runaway from what you know

And you, runaway from what you don't

I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind

Don't take the time

Let's make love

Don't runaway from what you know

Don't runaway, just let it go

I don't wanna wait for you to tell me what's right

Don't fight it

Let's make love tonight

Oh yeah, tonight, oh yeah, oh yeah, baby, oh yeah

Let's make love tonight
