RUNAWAY

Runaway with me Next Gen

I got a suitcase full of memories,

Took the last train out of Tennessee.

Left a note on the nightstand, “Don’t wait up for me,”

Guess I’m better off a mystery.

Neon lights blur through my window seat,

As the city fades behind my feet.

Got a dream in my pocket and fear in my hands,

I don’t know where I’m gonna land.

I was never good at staying,

Always good at saying, “I’ll be back someday.”

But you know I hate goodbyes,

So I just close my eyes and—

Runaway, runaway, into the dark,

Chasing the echoes of a broken heart.

Say my name, say my name, before it’s too late,

If I stop now, I’ll never escape.

So I run, I run, I run—away.

(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, runaway…)

(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, runaway…)

Got your voice still stuck in my head,

Like a song I wish I could forget.

Tried to drown it out in hotel bars,

But I always wake up right where you are.

I was never good at leaving,

Even when I’m breathing different air,

But you know I hate regrets,

So I just hold my breath and—

Exile!

Runaway, runaway, into the dark,

Chasing the echoes of a broken heart.

Say my name, say my name, before it’s too late,

If I stop now, I’ll never escape.

So I run, I run, I run—away.

Tell me, do you ever think of me?

Or am I just a ghost in your dreams?

‘Cause I could turn around if you say the word,

Or should I let it burn?

Runaway, runaway, into the dark,

Chasing the echoes of a broken heart.

Say my name, say my name, before it’s too late,

If I stop now, I’ll never escape.

So I run, I run, I run—away.

(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, runaway…)

(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, runaway…)
