I don't wanna go where the lovers go
like we did when you were mine
and this crying all the time
it ain't no fun
'cause i gotta run

so i don't wanna hear you on the other line
saying "babe, i'll let you go"
'cause the one thing that i know
is that i'm done
and i gotta run

*'cause he don't love you like i do
no way
and i can't chase you anymore
today
what can i say? i got a problem
all i wanna do is just run to you

i don't wanna get into a million fights
like we did when we went out
only stupid people shout
about something
that is burning out

so i don't wanna see you on the fire escape
on the hottest august night
cause these memories, sharp and bright
stick in my lungs
when i gotta run

repeat*

so i'll have the girls you hate get in my car
and i'll make em think that i'm a superstar
and i'll drive em to the place we used to
sit by the sea-where we screamed-
you and me

repeat*
