Castaway Lyrics by Brett Eldredge

Brett Eldredge

2017

[Verse 1]
I tried to fly but I ran out of sky
And I fell straight down into the ocean
Then I rode a wave back to shore
And I stayed for awhile
Till I got tired of being lonely

[Chorus]
Why do I always try
To run away from you
Please don't say a castaway
Is what I was born to do
I guess I'll always be lost without you

[Verse 2]
If I got smart, I'd trade my wings for your heart
And I'd promise to never chase the wind
I look up at the moon, but all I see is you
And I'm reminded I need your love again

[Chorus]
Why do I always try
To run away from you?
Please don't say a castaway
Is what I was born to do
I guess I'll always be lost without you

[Bridge]
I'd be naive to ever think
You're at your door waiting for me

[Chorus]
So why do I always try
To run away from you?
Please don't say a castaway
Is what I was born to do
I guess I'll always be lost without you
