Yesterday I told myself that I would give up all of this
But on my way back to the Post Office I convinced another Miss
That I could change her life forever given only time and trust
It’s the best that I can offer, though it feels like not enough

Run away with me tonight
Run away with me tonight

Yesterday I told myself that I’d reveal the way I feel
It isn’t love if it isn’t right.  It isn’t right if it isn’t real
The shades of endless sorrow and broken guarantees
Leave us stranded in the middle seeking out a way to leave

Run away with me tonight
Run away with me tonight

We’re not going too fast
We’re not going too far
We’re just moving your past away
From where you are

——

We’re not going too fast
We’re not going too far
We’re just moving your past away
From where you are

Yesterday I told myself that I should give up all that’s right
Take the path of least resistance.  You never lose if you never fight
But when I think of all those faces and punishment I’ve seen
Drifting in and out of memories like an aged and dying dream

Run away with me tonight
Run away with me tonight
