[Verse 1]
When I was young, I fell in love
Used to hold hands, man, that was enough
Then we grew up, started to touch
Kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus
I know your daddy didn't like me much
He didn’t believe me when I said you were the one
Oh, every day he found a way out of the window to sneak out late

[Pre-Chorus]
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Down to the coast, jump in the sea
Just take my hand and come with me

[Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart ’cause I ain't gonna break it
Come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
Love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2]
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
A house and everything in between
And suddenly we turned twenty-three
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs, got bills to pay
Our old friends are now our enemies
And now I'm thinking back to when I was young
Back to the day when I was falling in love

[Pre-Chorus]
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Down to the coast, jump in the sea
Just take my hand and come with me

[Chorus]
Singing we can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
Love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge]
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away
Run away
Run away now
Run away now
Run away
Run away, oh
(Run away)

[Pre-Chorus]
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Down to the coast, jump in the sea
Just take my hand and come with me
[Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
Give me your heart ’cause I ain't gonna break it
Come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
Love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
