RUN AWAY
RUN AWAY
I’ve got a confession
That’s long overdue
Trust me I’ve been wanting to speak out
But I couldn’t man up
The first time I set my eyes on you
You ignited a fire within me
I just couldn’t water it down
But with each day, it kept blowing stronger
I can’t let you slip away
I want to be the one taking you away
With the tsunami of love.
I lost focus by your beauty
It sometimes drives me crazy
Like, I want to run away with you
To a place with just you and I
Just me looking at your eyes
Telling you the magnitude of love I’ve got
I can’t let you slip away
I want to be the one taking you away
With the tsunami of love
Not looking back.
Burning the bridges behind
Saying good bye to all my ex
All my attention on you
If the world would revolve
Let it just be about you
When it comes to you
I chose to be selfish
I can’t let you slip away
I want to be the one taking you away
With the tsunami of love.
