I tell you I can visualise it all.
Too real it all seems
but once again, runnin' away with me.
Once again, runnin' away with me.
This couldn't be a dream.
Runnin' away with me.
Runnin' away with me.
And I stop myself for a minute,
see if my heart's still in it.
Say a few things just to win it.
Funny how it works out, innit?
And I told her, 'Some things have their time.
How can I be yours if you're not mine?'
She said, 'They should take this pain
and give it a name'.
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
Give yourself a new name.
Change your voice on the train.
Have her complain about your fame.
Tell me that it's all a rigged game.
And she told me, 'Some things just take time
How can you be sure if you won't try?'
She said, 'I guess I'll take this pain
instead of your name'.
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
And it's been playing on my mind.
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life far too many times.
Sunday's nearly over so I'll just lie awake.
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I.
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally.
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally.
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
(Runnin' away from me, runnin' away from me...)
