run away with me.

I'm singing this song tonight at the Arts Festival at my school. It means alot to me. One, the lyrics are incredible. And two, my girl told me about it so it automatically has a special spot in my list of songs to sing. I'm thinking about recording it and posting it on my youtube channel, we'll see.

Here's the lyrics to Run Away With Me:

Let me catch my breath.
This is really hard.
If I start to look like I’m sweating
That’s ‘cause I am.
I’m not good with words.
But that’s nothing new.
Still I have to try to explain what I want to do
With you…
With you.
Run away with me.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Texas in the summer is cool.
We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac
Looking back,
Sam, you’re ready,
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
Sam, I know it’s fast.
I’m in love with you.
Sam, it’s crazy but Sam, I’m crazier for you.
I have these plans.
Sam, I have these plans
Of a house that we build on a bay
When we run away.
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Alabama heat – sign me up.
We’ll be on the road like some country song.
Won’t be long.
Sam, you’re ready.
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Get the car packed and throw me the key.
Run away with me.
I’m not trying to make you a wife here,
I’m not trying to tie you down.
I’m just saying there may be a life here –
A new one as soon as we run,
Just as soon as we run.
Run away
Let me be your ride out of town.
Let me be the place that you hide.
We can make our lives on the go.
Run away with me.
Mississippi mud – watch me slide.
We’ll be on the road like Jack Kerouac,
Looking back.
Sam, you’re ready, Sam
Let me be your ride out of town.
Run away with me.
California dreams here we come
Romeo is calling for Juliet
Ready, set
Sam, you’re ready.
Let’s go
Anywhere.
Say the word and I’m already there!
Run away with me.

from that dancer guy to you,
Tony
