Runaway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run away
No sense of time
Like you to stay
Want to keep you inside

[Chorus]
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

[Chorus]
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

[Verse 2]
I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run away
No sense of time
Like you to stay
Want to keep you inside
[Bridge]
All alone
Not so strong without these open arms
Hold on tight
All alone
Not that strong without these open arms
Lie beside
All alone
Not so strong without these open arms
Lie beside

[Chorus]
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

[Outro]
Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Like you to stay
Want you to be my prize

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
