[Verse 1]
When I was young, I fell in love
We used to hold hands, yeah, and that was enough
Then we grew up, started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light under the back of the bus
I know my daddy didn’t like you much
And he didn’t believe me when I said you were the one
Every day I found a way out of the window to sneak out late

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don’t set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

[Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
Give me your heart ’cause I ain’t gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
So baby, run away, away with me
[Verse 2]
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
A house and everything in between
And then, suddenly we turned twenty-three
And now we get pressure for taking our life more seriously
We got dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
Half our friends are now our enemies
Now I’m thinking back to when I was young
Back to the day when I was falling in love

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don’t set
And every day you know that we ride
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

[Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you’re willing to take it
Give me your heart ’cause I ain’t gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Outro]
(Run away now, run away now)
(Run away now, run away now)
He used to meet me on the Eastside
(Run away now, run away now)
He used to meet me on the Eastside
(Run away now, run away now)
