Runaway

California is a thousand miles away
Had to speak to mama before she took me away
Fears in the tears that she cried on that day
If a boy wants to feel he's gotta hide, or runaway

Now I'm way off track this weight on my back
Got me bleeding
I'm through with that balancing act
I been keeping

Gotta runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
When it all gets too heavy
Runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
And your heart just ain't ready

California is a thousand miles away
Couldn't speak to papa, tell me what does that little boy say?
Fears in the tears, they subside 'cause I'm a man
If a boy wants to feel, he's gotta hide, but it hurts him so bad

Now I'm way off track this weight on my back
Got me bleeding
I'm through with that balancing act
I been keeping

Gotta runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
When it all gets too heavy
Runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
And your heart just ain't ready

Now I'm way off track this weight on my back
Got me bleeding
I'm through with that balancing act
I been keeping

Gotta runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
When it all gets too heavy
Runaway, ooh
Runaway, ooh
Runaway
And your heart just ain't ready
