Runaway
I close my eyes and tell you what I see
I'm picturing you and me
Five years from now to be
And we still kicking
Girl, you know you a vixen
Always replay our last weekend
Drove come see you in the East End
5 a.m. past Hamlin
Had to sneak you out the gate
Girl, you looked great
Way past late
You said, come at 8
Call me Paula Cole
Cause I didn't want to wait
Just had to kiss you
Before I hit another state
Said you wanna come
Cause you wanna clean the slate
But we moved on
Know that time played
And it never happened
Man, I blame fate
And for a while, man
Fuckin' soul ached
Cause I hate to sit
And watch a real love fade
Now I have other women out here tryna date
But I don't even bother
Cause it doesn't feel the same
Nowadays, everything's a game
Jaded couples always lose the flame
Nowadays, everyone feed to each other's pain
Everyone feed to each other's pain
Just run away with me
Just run away with me
Life's better with me, you'll see
Just run away with-
Yeah, baby, run away with me
Good together, can't disagree
My love, how can I make you see
That I know he ain't better than me
He ain't better than me
He ain't better than me
He ain't better than me
You're all I want, you're all I need
My everything, my history
Yeah, baby, it's misery
Please come back, I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
And I know you're not my girl
But I still wanna make you my girl
I wanna give you the whole world
Headboard bumpin', make the toes curl
Mans don't give no attention
And I really don't see connection
And he come home, always stressing
Side chick, he didn't mention
Now you feel a great deal of tension
Always runnin' in the bathroom
Checkin' in the mirror
Checkin' your reflection
Tryna find something wrong with ya
But you got it all wrong
But you got it all wrong
Girl, you're so amazing, babe
I see someone real strong
He's the same dance and the same song
Type of guy, you should move along
Come back to me, we can run along
We can run along
Know your heart's breaking
I know it needs mending
Call on me and I'll tend to
I would do anything for you
Let me give you somethin' more
That all the things you've seen before
If you're mine, I won't ignore
No more fightin', no more scores, no more war
I'm picturing you and me
Five years from now to be
And we still kicking
Girl, you know you a vixen
Always replay our last weekend
Drove come see you in the East End
