Runaway Lyrics by Mae

Destination: Beautiful

2003

[Verse 1]
I take a ride to the other side
Because it feels so nice just to drive and drive and drive
I'd make amends for the other night
If you'd be here with me, holding me tight
Is our chance when we fly away?
Because I need to know if I'm coming back
I push and pull just to get what I want
In the end I should know that you bring it all to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach out
You can go overboard if you want to
In and out
Don't lose control, don't lose control
Just don't take it back

[Chorus]
And I get so close
But I run away, I run away
Things I fear the most
Keep me here to stay, but anyway

[Verse 2]
Can we try for right now, free of doubt?
If you give the chance I could try and figure out
I'm kind of scared because I don't know how
But I'm watching the close calls and catching my breath now
There could be time when I'd fly away
But you need to know that I'm coming back
Don't want to push and pull anymore
Just to get what I want, when you bring it all to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach out
You can go overboard if you want to
In and out
Don't lose control, don't lose control
Just don't take it back

[Chorus]
And I get so close
But I run away, I run away
Things I fear the most
Keep me here to stay, but anyway

[Bridge]
You said you always wanted someone to tell you it's okay
Well, I guess it's my chance to tell everyone everything

Can we talk about this?
Give me the chance and we'll fly away
Can we walk around this?
Give me the chance and we'll fly away

[Chorus]
And I get so close
But I run away, I run away
Things I fear the most
Keep me here to stay, but anyway
(Can we talk about this?)
And I get so close
But I run away, I run away
(Give me the chance and we'll fly away)
(Can we walk around this?)
Things I fear the most
Keep me here to stay, but anyway
(Give me the chance and we'll fly away)
