When I was young
I fell in love
We used to hold hands
Man that was enough
Then we grew up started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light
On the back of the bus
Oh no 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 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 whole 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
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
Now 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 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
We can do anything
if we put our minds to it
Take your whole 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
