I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray

There's a Greyhound bus that's leaving
Half past four
This time is over if I take it
So I slowly cross the room and
At the door
There's one mistake to make and I make it
I stop to see you sleeping
Lying there
One empty cup one empty chair

I'd like to run away
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost I've gone astray
But I can't go

No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it
I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it home
So instead I sat my bag down
It ain't fair
You're still sleeping like a baby
I touch your lips, your eyes, your mouth
And kiss your hair
It might just work out
Who knows maybe

I was sure that I could make it
Through the door
Find someone who needs me more

I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go

No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it

I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it home
