If Del Shannon and Kanye West only have this one thing in common (and I think they probably do) its that they've both made both great pop songs called Runaway, and who am I to argue with that kind of company?
lyrics
Will you stay bound by childhood fears into the winter of our years?
All my pleas fall on deaf ears and it has brought me close to tears
This great expanse just never ends, a second's glance swallows your friends
Sub-bass rumbles, the edifice crumbles
Humbly I tried to stay out of trouble
Oh my little runaway
So sad to let you go
Oh my little runaway
I had to let you go
(x2)
Broken heart on my shirt sleeve, coffee stain on my chest
As much as this hurts me, I've been beat by the best
If there's a God or masterplan, why use a vehicle flawed as man
And we all try as hard as we can, but we fail hard
Here I stand
Oh my little runaway
So sad to let you go
Oh my little runaway
I had to let you go
(x2)
So sad about us
