Runaway Boy Lyrics by Patch Holt

[Verse 1]
He tried making room for thoughts that are in his head
He never had a problem trading stocks to keep him fed
No one has a clue what's going on inside his mind
He get's outta sight, we know that he is undefined
He runs quickly on the street
As he passes friends he knows
He will surely say goodbye to the friends that he chose

[Chorus]
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away as fast as you can (runaway boy, runaway boy)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
They all ask "where are you heading?"
You walk out and shut the door
They don't understand your thoughts
You're waging a war
He's got a plan to go so far and come back with pride
Surely he won't make it
He's got a star to be his guide
He runs quickly on the street
As he passes friends he knows
He will surely say goodbye to the friends that he chose

[Chorus]
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away as fast as you can (runaway boy, runaway boy)

Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away as fast as you can

[Instrumental]

Someone help me
I am drowning
Someone help me
I am drowning
Someone help me
I am drowning
Someone help me
I am drowning
Someone help me
I am drowning
Someone help me
I am drowning

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I woke up this night with a spade in my head
And dirty, dirty people wanna see me dead
I'm looking in the mirror, and I hear something speak
Saying "try again, kid, you aren't a freak."
Fears must be fought in the afternoon
And I'll see you here tomorrow, on the 25th of June
What two things come to mind when you think of me?
The fact that we fear, or the fear that we attract
And attract what we may, and be with who we want
I'm sick of all the fighting, and the dreadful talk

[Verse 4]
I woke up this night with a spade in my head
And dirty, dirty people wanna see me dead
I'm looking in the mirror, and I hear something speak
Saying "try again, kid, you aren't a freak."
Fears must be fought in the afternoon
And I'll see you here tomorrow, on the 25th of June
What two things come to mind when you think of me?
The fact that we fear, or the fear that we attract
And attract what we may, and be with who we want
I'm sick of all the fighting, and the dreadful talk

[Verse 5]
I woke up this night with a spade in my head
And dirty, dirty people wanna see me dead
I'm looking in the mirror, and I hear something speak
Saying "try again, kid, you aren't a freak."
Fears must be fought in the afternoon
And I'll see you here tomorrow, on the 25th of June
What two things come to mind when you think of me?
The fact that we fear, or the fear that we attract
And attract what we may, and be with who we want
I'm sick of all the fighting, and the dreadful talk

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away as fast as you can (runaway boy, runaway boy)

Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away boy (runaway boy)
Run away as fast as you can (runaway boy, runaway boy)
