Runaway With Me
Would you pack up and run away with me if I were to ask you to today?
Would you throw aside all the past? The turbulence we shared? Would you forget the screaming matches and remember what we shared?
If I dream of this; is there a chance that it may come true? The answer is too much time has passed, and there’s nothing more to say or do (unhappy face).
But I keep on hanging on, like a worn out Diana Ross song. I blame you; bellowing ”you just keep me hanging on”.
It seems I fell victim to the powers of your kiss. I treated you badly I didn’t realize how much I’d miss.
In this case there are no victims, there are only volunteers, and it seems you too fell ‘victim’, still loving me after all of these years.
I’d like to say I am sorry, but this is a worn out tune. I do have regrets. I blame it all on me. As they say it takes two to tango I wish now that I could see.
But then how could I be sorry to have loved so passionately? I am the lucky one, that someone too loved me.
I still ask would you run away with me? Take me to the justice one more time for a quiet ceremony?
Walk with me through life as if this is something we ever knew how to do. Accept the others faults with no backdoor to escape through.
Grow old and gray together family at our side, the American dream they call it a wild, bumpy ride.
All of the latter is something we will likely never know, but the passion once shared will surely never go.
Its electrical magnetic charge is etched upon my heart. Those times when we were young and would just do ‘it’ anywhere, that heat that drew us like flames we didn't have a care.
I ask again, would you run away with me?! Run away with me now!!! there’s no time to make haste. Life really is short we mustn't let it waste.
My beauty fades fast my love, my lines have become deep, my desires they are waning. Still my love for you I keep.
Run away with me my sweetheart I promise I’ll be fair. I will love you to the ends of time, more than you can bare.
Run away even if you have to wait until the dark of night. Run away with me my love make everything alright.
