"Runaway" lyrics

Runaway

I'm sitting at the crossways
Trying to keep my cool
With the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line
So many times
Girl, it's never right

Me and this machine
Keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Sometimes I swear
I could spin these old wheels
Just let it go

Ooh, runaway
Ooh, just runaway

Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see
Gently taps your memory
And shoots you down

Those hometown thoughts
School yard dreams and yesterdays
Moving in I just put my head down
And drift away

And we're moving up and down
In and out of town
Searching for that piece of higher ground
Somewhere
Yeah

Ooh, runaway
You and me, girl
Ooh, just runaway

Ooh, oh, runaway, yeah
Ooh, runaway

Moving up and down
In and out of town
Searching for that piece of higher ground
Somewhere
Yeah

Ooh, runaway
Ooh, runaway
Ooh, you and me, girl
Ooh

Ooh, runaway
Runaway, girl
Ooh, just runaway
Girl, it's just you and me
Runaway
Runaway, yeah
Ooh, runaway
