RUNAWAY

Gene Eric Mann

This Psych Folk tune I wrote about a fellow runaway child I was housed with, that got romantic with me before I escaped that place, my standard O.P. after getting caught and stuck in a facility.

RUNAWAY

i don’t need you hangin’ ‘round me
’cause i know you want to be free
i don’t need your lovin’ no more
‘cause i know what you’re lookin’ for

i don’t need a fly-by-night heart
‘cause i don’t want to fall apart
i don’t like you clingin’ to me
‘cause i see that you must be free

I don’t need a runaway
Need a love that’s going to stay
Don’t need a love that’s going to fade away
So runaway little runaway

i can’t have you runnin’ to me
‘cause i know what can never be
i can’t deal with you anyway
’cause i know you aren’t gonna stay

I know you will find home
I too have been on the run
But for now you need to roam
and i won’t be here when you’re done

I know you will find your place
I know what you’re going through
’Cause for now you need to race
but i’m not waiting here for you
