Run Away Lyrics

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 muchI recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mineGonna 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 mineTrades 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 endI recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mineGonna 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 mineLong 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 againI recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mineGonna 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 mineGot to run away
Got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
