Run & Hide - This Century

You are the definition of a shooting star

Somewhere in the atmosphere

Then you went ahead and disappeared

I know I got lost in the afterglow

Waiting on the stars to show in your eyes

(Bridge)

I want to start believing in a world out there

Something that this love could not compare to

You and I both know

I could put you in the sunshine hoping for the daylight

But you say «no way, I’m not going out there»

You could play it back real slow until you hear an echo

All I wanted was you at my side

Why you gotta run, why you gotta run and hide?

Heaven only knows that I want you there

To kiss you in the midnight air

I could tell you what you want to hear

And we’d go far away from everything you know

If you could only let it go, let it go

I could put you in the sunshine hoping for the daylight

But you say «no way, I’m not going out there»

You could play it back real slow until you hear an echo

All I wanted was you at my side

Why you gotta run, why you gotta run and hide?

(Bridge)

I don’t know think you know

I don’t know think you know how far I’d go for you

I don’t think you see all that we could be

But I can’t go and make you fall for me

No I can’t make you fall for me

I could put you in the sunshine hoping for the daylight

But you say «no way, I’m not going out there»

You could play it back real slow until you hear an echo

All I wanted was you at my side

Why you gotta run, why you gotta run and hide?
