[Verse 1]
I been waiting here for an hour now
Oh, you got me looking like a child now
Reading dirty magazines for the smiles now
And on my face you can see every mile now
[Pre-Chorus]
My legs weren't tired, but my knees grow weak
Been too long chasing this you and me
You won't catch me cryin', no well's that deep
So just win your battles, don't you bring ‘em home to me
[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway, I'll be here when it's over
Runway, runaway, come back when it's colder
Runaway, runaway, run away from me
I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
[Verse 2]
I can see the scars in your smile now
Seen your carousel spin me round and round, round and round
Oh you lifted me up, but then you lay me back down down down down down down
Back down down down down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My legs aren't tired, but my knees still weak
Been too long chasing what we couldn't be
You won't catch me cryin', these tears ain't cheap
Just win your battles, don't you bring ‘em home to me
[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway, I'll be here when it's over
Runway, runaway, come back when it's colder
Runaway, runaway, run away from me
I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
(I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
Runaway, runaway, I'll be here when it's over
Runaway, runaway, I'll be here when it's over)
[Bridge]
You been away from the house, and the streets, the town that you call home
You been away from the rays, the shiny things, the silver and gold
So forget about the self you used to know
Forget about the bands of long ago
Just let them go, just let them go
[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway, I'll be here when it's over
Runway, runaway, come back when it's colder
Runaway, runaway, run away from me
I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
I'll be waiting here to hold you, I'll be waiting here to hold you
