Producer: Peter McIan

She plays it so dramatic, a silhouette of soul
It's automatic, he won't ever let go
She wants a tender lover, a clean and honest man
Why she keeps on running, I just don't understand

Chorus:
Runaway, why do you run away, come on stay, just stay tonight
Runaway, you're just a runaway, come on stay, it'll be alright

In between the faces and on the out-of-bounds
They could find the places no one else could have found
Now she's in expectation and he's in search of truth
A simple soul equation, one and one heart is two

(chorus)
Now she's walking down a fine line, she told him what would happen next time
She's gonna run away

(Solo)

Runaway, why do you run away, come on stay, just stay with me tonight
Runaway, why do you run away, oh stay one more night

Runaway, come on stay, just stay with me tonight
Runaway, come on stay, it'll be alright

Runaway, you gotta stay, just stay one more night
Runaway, oh... (to fade)
