i need to hear you say
you'll hold the line
pulling me this way
and all the while
counting the moments
to see my name in lights
i want to see them
the city lights so bright

running away from love tonight
running away from love tonight
i've settled for this life
i should have run to you (tonight)

wind blows
on a ship that's yet to sail away
i was born to move and stir inside of you
now there's just one
one way to go
and i've been back down the road
i've seen the limit
the city calls, i want to feel it
somehow through the miles i hope you feel it too

running away from love tonight
running away from love tonight
i've settled for this life
i should have run to you tonight!

oh, and i'll always want you there
even though i know it's not fair
oh, and i can't take away your fear
but i'm yours, dear

now there's just one
one way to go
and i've been back down that road
i've seen the limit
the city lights so bright...

running away from love tonight
running away from love tonight
i've settled for this life
i should have run to you tonight

i should have run to you
i should have run to you
