Runaway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You keep your distance, that's for sure You led me to believe you're an open door But when I reached for your handle I learned otherwise You handed fiction out in paperback Eight hundred pa-a-a-a-ges Lined from the top to the bottom with the words "come here" And I read every last word [Chorus] When I'm nice, you're disinterested (Woo-ooh) When I'm an asshole, you're offended (Woo-ooh) You're a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch You're perfect, runaway Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh) You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh) If I follow slow, you'll wait up for me You're to blame, runaway [Verse 2] There's a problem with your temperature I did my best, I tried my best to warm you down But you froze my thermometer Your time is a magical thing Like this curse that you put on me If you aren't willing to give me yours Why should I waste mi-ine? That is in the "I" of the word [Chorus] When I'm nice, you're disinterested (Woo-ooh) When I'm an asshole, you're offended (Woo-ooh) You're a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch You're perfect, runaway Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh) You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh) If I follow slow, you'll wait up for me You're to blame, runaway [Chorus] When I'm nice, you're disinterested (Woo-ooh) (If my mind could) When I'm an asshole, you're offended (Woo-ooh) (Turn back time) You're a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch (I'd find myself and warn him that) You're perfect, runaway Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh) (Girl, some day) You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh) (I'll find a way to) If I follow slow, you'll wait up for me (Break away from your luring eyes) You're to blame, runaway
