Runaway Lover

Well I've been feeling real low since she left me yesterday
My runaway lover is gone without a trace now
It's got me sinking so deep down today
My friends have all been wondering if I'll make it out okay

So I drink to pass the time hoping that'll ease the pain
Take a second to unwind wondering if it's me to blame
It's not like I left the door hanging wide open
But if I did I know that she'd be taking off running

Come back, back, back
Back to me my lover
Won't you come back, back, back
My runaway lover

I'm not holding up too well, I haven't seen my girl in days
All that remains now are the memories of her face
No phone calls, no texts, and no sight of her appearance
The thought of her long gone I just don't think I can bear with

So I light one up to pass the time hoping that'll ease the pain
Take a second to unwind, knowing now that I'm to blame
Looking back, I may have left the door open behind me
I promise I'll come looking for ya, need you here beside me

Come back, back, back
Back to me my lover
Won't you come back, back, back
My runaway lover
Hoping you'll return my love
I'm so lost while looking for you
Where did I make the wrong turn this time
I won't stop until I find you

And all I can do now is just think, think about the times
We were young, so free with no responsibilities
Nowadays I sit and wait, longing for you as I grieve
You're on my mind almost all the time
Wondering what I did to make you leave

Come back, back, back
Back to me my lover
Well I need you here with me my darling
Back, back, back my runaway lover

Come back, back, back
Back to me my lover
Won't you come back, back, back
My runaway lover
Hoping you'll return my love
I'm so lost while looking for you
Where did I make the wrong turn this time
I won't stop until I find you

(Back, back, back, back, back, back my runaway love)
(Back, back, back, back, back, back my runaway love)
(Back, back, back, back, back, back my runaway love)
