Ed Harcourt
Runaway Daydreamer
[Verse 1]
I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house
Be gone before the morning comes
I could dye my hair, I could change my name
Leave it all behind, be free to run
When I close my eyes I'm on the other side
I'm like a hurricane along the track
I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind
Beyond the walls which always hold me back

[Chorus]
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girls gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby
I'm here to stay

[Verse 2]
The noise of the city and the neon sky
It will fade with the falling down
And the quiet gets too close to me
So won't you come and bring me around?
Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes
I don't need it to be true
Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days
And I know you go there too
Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer
[Chorus]
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girls gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby
I'm here to stay

[Bridge]
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway

[Chorus]
It's just my imagination
Running away
Girls gotta have a little daydream
It's a secret escape
It's just my imagination
Running away
Don't worry baby
I'm here to stay
Don't worry baby
I'm here to stay
