Eric Carmen - Run Away lyrics

(Eric Carmen) She was just an average blue-eyed Golden high school dream An illusion nothing real could ever touch Funny love seemed so much more intense At seventeen When I knew she'd never love me Half as much I recall the desperate vow I made I must find a way somehow to win her heart I've got to make her mine Gonna run away Till I prove that I'm a man Gonna run away Be the best I know I can Got to run away Got to find my space and time And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine Trades were made for promises Of a timeless memory And I knew but still refused to comprehend The fantasy more glamorous Then she could ever be Was the course of least resistance In the end I recall the desperate vow I made I must find a way somehow to win her heart I've got to make her mine Gonna run away Till I prove that I'm a man Gonna run away Be the best I know I can Got to run away Got to find my space and time And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine Long ago an innocence Lived deep within my soul In a yesterday where love And dreams remain But disillusion clouds my eyes And the winter takes it's toll For the spring has gone And will not come again I recall the desperate vow I made I must find a way somehow to win her heart I've got to make her mine Gonna run away Till I prove that I'm a man Gonna run away Be the best I know I can Got to run away Got to find my space and time And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine Got to run away Got to find my space and time And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
