| When I was young, we fell in love
|
| We used to hold hands, man, that was enough
|
| Then we grew up, started to touch
|
| Used to kiss underneath the light in the back of the bus
|
| Oh no, your daddy didn’t like me much
|
| And he didn’t believe me when I said you were the one
|
| Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
|
| He used to meet me on the Eastside
|
| In the city where the sun don’t set
|
| And every day you know that we ride
|
| Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
|
| And baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
|
| We can go anywhere we want
|
| Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea
|
| Just take my hand and come with me
|
| Singin' we can do anything if we put our minds to it
|
| Take your whole life then you put a line through it
|
| My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
|
| Give me your heart 'cause I ain’t gonna break it
|
| So come away, starting today
|
| Start a new life, together in a different place
|
| We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
|
| So baby, run away with me
|
| Seventeen and we had a dream to have a family
|
| A house and everything in between, and then, oh
|
| Suddenly we turned twenty-three
|
| And we got pressures for taking our life more seriously
|
| We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
|
| Half our friends are now our enemies
|
| And now I-, I’m thinking back to when I was young
|
| Back to the days when I was falling in love
|
| He used to meet me on the Eastside
|
| In the city where the sun don’t set
|
| And every day you know that we ride
|
| Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
|
| And baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
|
| We can go anywhere we want
|
| Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea
|
| Just take my hand and come with me
|
| Singin' we can do anything if we put our minds to it
|
| Take your whole life then you put a line through it
|
| My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
|
| Give me your heart 'cause I ain’t gonna break it
|
| So come away, starting today
|
| Start a new life, together in a different place
|
| We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
|
| So baby, run away with me
|
| Run away, now
|
| Run away, now
|
| Run away, now
|
| Run away, now
|
| We can do anything if we put our minds to it
|
| Take your whole life then you put a line through it
|
| My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
|
| Give me your heart 'cause I ain’t gonna break it
|
| So come away, starting today
|
| Start a new life, together in a different place
|
| We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
|
| So baby, run away with me |
