The Runaway

Let's runaway to yesterday or somewhere better than now
I've got a car, a couple of dollars, and you
These wasted days, the films and the cowards,
The romance of just being through
With calling all these okay times golden
Man, I'm not lost, I'm just wandering

So go on
(All I know)
Make me run
(These roads are all I know)
Yeah, you know I'm not looking back
(All I know)
No, not for no one

We're all sons and daughters
The lie doesn't help, my generation's in love with itself
I think we all could use a little more yesterdays
And I take my time
The fight doesn't last, my whole damn life's a song from my past
The chorus rings the psalm, "Nothing good ever stays"

When summer arrived, I squinted my eyes
'Cause it didn't look too familiar
Don't trust the girls in California
The look in their eyes will kill ya
It's strange times, the ones we're living, the people we're supposed to be
Are braver, and lighter, the heart of a liar is something you shouldn't have to see

And I take my time
The fight doesn't last, my whole damn life's a song from my past
The chorus rings the psalm, "Nothing good ever stays"
But I'm gonna okay
Yeah, I'll be okay
Don't you worry about me
Don't worry 'bout me
