Runnin’ Songtext
von Jesse McCartney

Runnin′ away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
Runnin′ away

I had the perfect girl
We'd spend together hours everyday
You'd say that I had it made
And I was all for the commitment
But then she started wantin′ more from me
And my mind began to change
Suddenly I didn′t feel the same
I didn't know what I was doing


I was dodging commitment
Start but don′t finish
My aim was always the same girl
I know I've been trippin′
I'm confessin′ I'm confessin'
So baby, just hear me out
I′m confessin′ I'm confessin′
So, baby just see me off
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin′
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin′
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin′ away
Runnin′ away
Hey hey hey


I caught a second wind of happiness
When I met this girl and then
We became the best of friends
We went from half full to half empty
I took a detour tryin' to find myself
But I′m on this road again
Want out of this box I'm in
I made it harder to be with me

I was dodging commitment
Start but don′t finish
My aim was always the same girl
I know I've been trippin′
I'm confessin' I′m confessin′
So, baby just hear me out
I'm confessin′ I'm confessin′
So, baby just see me off
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin′
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin′ mistakes
I keep runnin′
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin′ away
Hey hey hey

I'm ′bout to break down baby, I'm done
No, I can′t keep up runnin' this marathon
No need to rest when I already won
And if I got you by my side
Girl, I already won

It's like lookin′ for a treasure when it′s already mine
It don't make sense don′t make sense
No matter how hard I try to define
I'm comin′ face to face with myself
I know I don't need don′t need no one else
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin'
So can somebody tell me where I′m goin′

I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin′ away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin′ mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin′ away
Runnin' away

I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin′ away
I keep runnin′
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin′
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin′ away
Hey hey hey

Runnin' away
Runnin′ away
Hey hey hey
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
