Runaway Lyrics by Salt Ashes

Salt Ashes

2016

[Verse 1]
Did you know about it as you saw the street fill up
I took my heart and looked the other way
I ran my mind around it let it out a hollow blow
As I lost myself beneath the bluest love
Now I know you are the one
Nothing here is what I want
With my neck in his arms now it's time to come undone

[Chorus]
But baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Baby it's true selling tomorrow for yesterday
Baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Your name it pierces my heart

[Verse 2]
I could hear the phone ring as he held me to the wall
I took my heart and looked the other way
Even in the darkness I could see the feathers fall
As he shut the world away from part of me

[Chorus]
But baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Baby it's true selling tomorrow for yesterday
Baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Your name it pierces my heart

[Bridge]
Now I know you are the one
Nothing here is what I want
With my hand around the gun now it’s time to come undone
Now it’s time to come undone
Now it’s time to come undone
Now it’s time to come undone
Now it’s time to come undone

[Chorus]
But baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Baby it's true selling tomorrow for yesterday
Baby it's true you are the reason I'd runaway
Your name it pierces my heart
