Runaway (hit mix)
White silk,
wrong name.
They toast the life
they chose for me.
Gold ring,
too tight.
I count three beats
till midnight.
Black suit,
one rose.
You slide a key
beside my glass.
You don't say “run.”
I make the call.
One
nod—
the band kicks in.
We cross the floor
and disappear.
Runaway.
Way, way, way-way, way,
way, way, way.
Runaway.
Way, way, way,
way-way, way, way,
way.
Runaway.
Way, way, way-way, way,
way, way, way.
Runaway.
Way,
way, way-way, way, way,
way.
Back stairs,
wet stone.
The engine wakes.
I take the wheel.
Red lights streak
across the glass.
The city wakes—
we’re gone at last.
At the bridge,
you ask, “Still sure?” I toss the ring—
one flash, then dark.
Your hand stays open.
I choose to take it.
No one owns
the road we make.
Runaway. Way, way, way-way,
way, way, way,
way.
Runaway.
Way, way, way, way-way,
way, way,
way.
Runaway.
Way, way,
way-way, way, way,
way, way.
Runaway.
Way, way,
way-way, way,
way, way.
First light,
diner glow.
You ask my name;
I say it slow.
Not their script,
not their design.
I choose the road.
I choose the name.
You walk beside,
not in my place.
I set the pace.
You match my stride.
Runaway.
Way, way, way-way, way,
way, way, way.
Runaway. Way,
way, way, way-way, way,
way, way.
Runaway. Way, way, way-way,
way, way, way, way.
Runaway.
Way, way, way-way, way,
way, way.
