Run Away

(eric carmen)



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



I recall the desperate vow i made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine



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



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



I recall the desperate vow i made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine



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



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



I recall the desperate vow i made

I must find a way somehow to win her heart

I've got to make her mine



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
