Runaway - Live Acoustic Version Lyrics
The Kooks
Lyrics
Girl, I want to be good to you
I never want to do you no harm
I'm caught up in those fascination
Coping with your alarms
Ignore life if you want to, babe
Do what you've got to do
I need some time in the countryside
I want to feel so brand new
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, angel
You make me run away
Runaway
I see your name on the walls again
I painted you on my toes
Celebrate to resuscitate
We'll drink to ourselves
You'd collect lovers like gemstones
You talk of them as your friends
Dangle me from your wristchain
Another one lost to the wills of change
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, baby
You make me run away
Runaway
Still, I try to be good to you
You'll always be my friend
I've spent some time to define my mind
I want to be someone new
Why don't we run away?
Why don't we run away
Yeah, we can run away, angel
Yeah, we could run away
Why don't we run away?
You make me run away, baby
I want to run away
I want to run away
