ERIC CARMEN - Run Away lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

She was just an average blue-eyed, golden high school dream

An illusion nothing real could ever touch

Funny love seemed so much more intense at seventeen

When I knew she'd never love me half as much

(Pre-Chorus)

I recall the desperate vow I made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine

(Chorus)

Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man

Gonna run away, be the best I know I can

Got to run away, got to find my space and time

And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

(Verse)

Trades were made for promises of a timeless memory

And I knew but still refused to comprehend

The fantasy more glamorous, then she could ever be

Was the course of least resistance, in the end

(Pre-Chorus)

I recall the desperate vow I made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine

(Chorus)

Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man

Gonna run away, be the best I know I can

Got to run away, got to find my space and time

And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

(Verse)

Long ago an innocence, lived deep within my soul

In a yesterday where love and dreams remain

But disillusion clouds my eyes and the winter takes it's toll

For the spring has gone and will not come again

(Pre-Chorus)

I recall the desperate vow I made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine

(Chorus)

Gonna run away till I prove that I'm a man

Gonna run away, be the best I know I can

Got to run away, got to find my space and time

And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

Got to run away, got to find my space and time

And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
