California is a thousand miles away

Had to speak to mama before she took me away Fears in the tears that she cried on that day

If a boy wants to feel he’s gotta hide

Or runaway

Now I’m way off track

This weight on my back got me bleeding I’m through with that balancing act

I’ve been keeping

Gotta runaway ooh Runaway ooh

Runaway

When it all gets to heavy Runaway ooh

Runaway ooh

Runaway

And your heart just aint ready

California is a thousand miles away Couldn’t speak to papa

Tell me what does that little boy say? Fears in the tears, they subside

‘’cos im a man

If a boy wants to feel he’s gotta hide But it hurts him so bad

Now I’m way off track

This weight on my back got me bleeding

I’m through with that balancing act I’ve been keeping

Gotta runaway ooh Runaway ooh

Runaway

When it all gets to heavy Runaway ooh

Runaway ooh

Runaway

And your heart just aint ready woah

Aaaah eeeaah

I’m way off track

This weight on my back got me bleeding I’m through with that balancing act

I’ve been keeping

Gotta runaway ooh Runaway ooh

Runaway

When it all gets to heavy Runaway ooh

Runaway ooh

Runaway

And your heart just aint ready
