Uh
Yeah, yeah
When I was young, I fell in love
We used to hold hands
Man, that was enough, yeah
Then we grew up, started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light
On the back of the bus, yeah
I know your daddy didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me
When I said you were the one
Oh, every day
She found a way out of the window
To sneak out late
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day, you know that we'd ride
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast
Jump in the sea
Just take my hand
And come with me, yeah
We can do anything
If we put our minds to it
Take your old life
Then you put a line through it
My love is yours
If you're willing to take it
Give me your heart
'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life
Together in a different place
We know that love is
How all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
Seventeen, and we got a dream
To have a family
A house, and everything in between
And then, oh, suddenly
We turned twenty-three
And now we got pressure
For taking our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs
And got bills to pay
Our old friends are now our enemies
And now I, I'm thinking back
To when I was young
Back to the day
When I was falling in love
He used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day, you know where we'd ride
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
And baby, you know
I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast
Jump in the sea
Just take my hand
And come with me, singing
We can do anything
If we put our minds to it
Take your old life
Then you put a line through it
My love is yours
If you're willing to take it
Give me your heart
'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
To start a new life
Together in a different place
We know that love is
How all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
Run away now, run away now
Run away now
Run away now, run away now
Run away now
He used to meet me on the Eastside
She used to meet me on the Eastside
He used to meet me on the Eastside
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
