[Verse 1]
I met a girl from Palmdale
She had bags under her eyes
A dessert thing about her
She was void of any lies
She moved out to L.A
She was running from the pain
She thought I'd be the one
To take it away

[Chorus]
But I'm the one
Who needs someone
Oh, I'm the one
Who's on the run

[Verse 2]
I came out from the East Coast
I was chasing down a dream
It was never about the money
It was all about the scene
And heaven knows I'm trying
But my best is not enough
I'm getting in my car
To pick you up
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the one
Who needs someone
Oh, I'm the one
Who's on the run

[Bridge]
Hold on to each other
Hold on to me
The world is a dark, dark place
And you're all I see

[Verse 3]
It felt so California
When I found out you were gone
You texted me you missed me
And you were staying with your mom
I always thought I'd be
The one to lead you on
I always thought I'd be
The one to leave

[Chorus]
But I'm the one
Who needs someone
Oh, I'm the one
Who's on the run
Oh, I'm the one
Who needs someone
[Outro]
I'm the one
Who's on the run
And I'm the one
Who needs someone
