Bill Champlin - "Runaway" Lyrics

"Runaway" Lyrics

Runaway
Mama thought he had a condition
He barely acted his age
Papa chalked it off to amibition
When he took to the stage

A small town singer doesn't stand a chance
Hiding behind the same old scene
One or two parties, and just a few dances
Not enough chances for me

Nobody here can understand
Your favorite son has other plans

Runaway
Don't cry again
Kiss goodbye the ties that bind you
Runaway
And try again
Yesterday belongs behind you
Tomorrow takes you home

He tried to stay above their suspicions
But sometimes he gave it away
He knew enough to change his position
The time came to live in LA

A small town singer just can't get by
Hiding behind the same old scene
Nobody like to say goodbye
But bye bye, the time has come for me

Nobody here can understand
Your favorite son has other plans

Runaway
Don't cry again
Kiss goodbye the ties that bind you
Runaway
And try again
Yesterday belongs behind you
Runaway
Kiss it all goodbye
Take another try
Tomorrow takes you home
Runaway
Kiss goodbye the ties that bind you
Runaway try again
Yesterday belongs behind you
Tomorrow takes you home

Runaway
Take my heart away
Runaway, try again, try again
Kiss it all goodbye
It's time to runaway
Kiss it all goodbye
Let tomorrow take me home

One Way Ticket
Something has come over you
And it makes me wonder
Girl, what am I gonna do
When you buy a
One way ticket to paradise
And leave your love behind

I'll be all by myself
The day that you go
I'll be in love with somebody else
While you're closin' the show

Everytime a story ends
Somebody wins or loses
We'll only be the best of friends
Because you bought a
One way ticket to paradise
Will I be off your mind
Girl, you got a
One way ticket to paradise
Who'll be left behind?

I'll be all by myself
The day that you go
I'll be in love with somebody else
While you're closin' the show

Sara
How could you let me go
The way we've been getting on
I didn't see no sign of trouble
All of a sudden you're gone

How was I meant to know
I left you alone too long
I never thought you needed all of that
Talkin' but I could be wrong

Sara
I'll never forget your name
The woman is gone
But the feeling is here to stay
Sara
The melody will remain
Though you'll be gone
Before the sun goes down
Sara tearin' apart
The heart you turned around

How could you let me go
And whittle your dreams away
I didn't see you leavin' me
Give me a moment to say
How can I let you know
I'm willin' to give it all
I'll gather your tears from all of the years
And catch 'em whenever they fall
I'll catch you whenever you fall

Tonight Tonight
Love lost her way again
I stayed at home
Another sleepless night
Here by a telephone that never seems
To ring a ray of hope
Into a man so all alone

I tried to let you go
Time after time
I lost my mind
Suddenly late last night you finally called
And all my dreams came true today
You're comin' home to stay

Chorus:
Tonight Tonight
You'll be back in my arms
And back in my life
So right so right
We'll never have to say
Goodbye because
Tonight Tonight
The love we used to have
Is gonna return
Tonight Tonight
The love that went away
Is comin' home to stay

You are my happiness
One kiss can change the past
And cast it all away
Nothin' will ever change the way I feel
And I can hardly wait to see you
You're comin' home at last

Repeat chorus

You are my love
My everlasting love
Everlasting love

Take It Uptown
I know you'll be satisfied
If you'll take a chance
Steppin' in time, stay by my side
Welcome to the dance

So turn it up, I'm burin' up
Got to cool me with your ooo, ooo, music
Come on
I want everybody to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now

We'll take it uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night you won't forget
And if I have to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side tomorrow night

Some say love should hesitate
But I say that's a crime
Sure you're not in love today
But take one at a time

Get your saxophone, squeeze it all night long
I got to hear a little "Midnight Hour"
Come on
I want everybody to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now

We'll take it uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night you'll never forget
And if I got to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side

We'll tear it up and down tomorrow
You've never see nothin' like us yet
Take hold of my hand, hold my hand
Gonna be side by side tomorrow night

Get your saxophone, squeeze it all night long
Gotta move me with your ooo, ooo, music
Come on
I know you're just dyin' to sing Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now, Hey Now
We'll take it up

I'll take you uptown tomorrow
I'll make it a night that you'll never forget
And if I got to beg or borrow
We're gonna be side by side tomorrow

Take it uptown
Take it uptown
Hey Now, Hey Now
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
Oh, honey won't you think about it
Take it uptown
Take it uptown
We're gonna be side by side
You and I Hey Now
Take it uptown
Take it uptown

Satisfaction
Yesterday and love was easy
Not a cloud up in the sky
Everyday you try to please me
One more tear falls from your eye
Oh, rainy day, won't you go away
Leave it alone
Let's get back where we started

Satisfaction
Is up to you and me
Satisfaction
Satisfaction
Is never guaranteed

Oh, I will never let you go
I just want to let you know
What you mean to me

Rainy day and we keep talkin'
Still we don't know what to do
You keep sayin' that you're walkin'
You keep tellin' me you're through
Oh, rainy day, won't you go away
Leave it alone
Let's get back to where we started

Satisfaction
Is up to you and me
Satisfaction
Satisfaction
Is never guaranteed

Stop Knockin' on My Door
Stop knockin' on my door
There's nothin' here for your to score
Stop knockin' on my door
Your connection ain't here no more

Well I took a lease on number sixteen
Paid my first and last deposit to clean
I figured everything would be cool
With my saunabath, jacuzzi, and pool

Stop knockin' on my door
Can't you see it's a quarter to four
Stop knockin' on my door
Your dealer don't live here no more

Since I moved in it's only been a week
But already I've lost a month or two of sleep
They're knockin' on my door, they're ringin' my bell
I don't need no all-night clientele

Stop knockin' on my door
Don't want nobody sleepin' on my floor
Stop knockin' on my door
This ain't the place to party anymore
Ah, but tonight they're gonna get a big surprise
'Cause my doorbell's got a brand new set of wires
I know I'll get some peace and quiet soon
'Cause my new friends will be walkin' on the moon
I don't want you to come around
Stop knockin' on my door

Gotta Get Back to Love
What happend to
That old feelin we knew
Remember how my lovin' eyes
Would dance all over you
And when you touched my hand
Makin' love was the plan
Stop that clock upon the wall
And turn it back where we started

Gotta get back to love
Back how it used to be
Oh baby, think of all the memories
Gotta get back to love
I wanna be endlessly in romance

Why can't we be
Like the rainbow we see
Right behind the raging storm
The colors all agree

Ooh, lay down beside me girl
And we'll talk about what went wrong
We'll take the shadow from our love
And let the bright lights start shining

Gotta get back to love
Back how it used to be
Oh baby, think of all the memories
Gotta get back to love
I wanna be endlessly in romance

All the time together
Got to make the lovin' better

We can't turn back now
After followin' a dream
We gotta keep reachin'
For the highest star
Where you gonna run to
If I turn and walk away
Don't give up on it baby
When you know there's a way

Gotta get back to love
Back how it used to be
Oh baby, think of all the memories
Gotta get back to love
I wanna be endlessly in romance

Without You
I can no longer take it
I'm findin' it hard to do
Makin' believe I'll make it
Without you

How am I gonna shake it
I can't tell my heart what to do
Why even try to fake it
Without you

Without you to keep me goin'
This emptiness just keeps on growin'
Without you

How am I to find my way
Where am I to go
How could you just walk away
Takin' more of me
Than you could ever know

I'm gonna have to make it
I made it before without you
The love that I won
I'm not strong enough to lose

I never thought you'd break it
But you broke our love in two
I've got no place to take it
Without you

Without you to keep me goin'
This emptiness just keeps on growin'
Without you

How am I to find my way
Where am I to go
How could you just walk away
Takin' more of me
Than you could ever know

The Fool is All Alone
I still remember you and me
When we were young
We thought the rain would never fall

We had forever for awhile
Every together has an ending
Someone is always standing in line

I was tryin' to love somebody else
You were tryin' to save me from myself
When you fell in love with someone else
All my dreams were gone
Something went wrong
And the fool is all alone

Back when the time was standin' still
We fell in love
We thought the rain would never fall

While I was searchin' for a thrill
You went away, now I'm feelin' stranded
Took you for granted for too long

I was tryin' to love somebody else
You were tryin' to save me from myself
When you fell in love with someone else
All my dreams were gone
Something went wrong
And the fool is all alone
