On the side of the road under darkening sky
On the edge of something so alive
You pulled over to the softened shoulder
And broke the silence of the drive
Here it comes that broken moment
Where all that you've been holding on
Could pull you back to California or take us home
Into the dawn
Hey, ey, You can't always runaway
Looking back, you've made a few mistakes
Baby don't leave it this way
Don't runaway
It's always been the same old story
Cut and run til you get along
When you gonna stand for something
And face what you been running from?
Hey, ey, You can't always runaway
Looking back, you've made a few mistakes
If you don't stick around,
Then you won't figure out how it ends
Baby, don't leave it this way
Don't runaway
What's it gonna take?
What do I have to say?
To turn you around?
My heart breaks, every time I hear
Car doors slam and I watch you walk away
Hey, ey, You can't always runaway
Looking back, you've made a few mistakes
If you don't stick around,
Then you won't figure out how it ends
Baby, don't leave it this way
Don't runaway
If you don't stick around,
Then you won't figure out how it ends
Baby, don't leave it this way
