Jack Stauber - Runaway

[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 pages
Lined from the top to the bottom with the words come here

[Chorus]
When I'm nice you’re disinterested
When I’m an asshole you're offended
You’re a lure with no prize
A chase with no catch
You're perfect
Runaway
Though I'm never gonna lock you down
You're always gonna be around
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 mine

[Chorus]
When I'm nice you’re disinterested
When I’m an asshole you're offended
You’re a lure with no prize
A chase with no catch
You're perfect
Runaway
Though I'm never gonna lock you down
You're always gonna be around
If I follow slow
You’ll wait up for me
You're to blame
Runaway

[Outro]
If my mind could turn back time
I'd find myself and warn him that
You're perfect
Runaway
Girl some day
I'll find a way
To break away
From your luring eyes
You’re to blame
Runaway
