He used to meet me on the Eastside
He used to meet me on the Eastside
When I was young, I fell in love
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough
Then we grow up, started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus
Oh no, my daddy didn't like you much
And he didn't believe me when you said I was the one
Oh, every day, I found a way to sneak out of the window and late
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Backstreets in my blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My life is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heats 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
17, and we got a dream
To have a family, a house and everything in between
And when, oh, suddenly we turned 23
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs, we got bills to pay
Half our friends are now our enemies
Now I, I'm thinking back to when I was young
Back to the day when I was falling in love
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day you know that we ride
Backstreets in my blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
My life is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heats 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now (run away)
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
Run away now
