runaway

You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway


do you remember, just before you were married? i told you that i almost turned my truck around and drove north to get you after hearing this starship song.

we had only seen and felt each other twice, and had not yet made love. but, we loved each other, didn't we? that was real, wasn't it?

If you knew how much I miss you
Oh I miss you more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could run run run runaway
Run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway


but, what went through my mind was the scene from the movie, The Graduate, where at the end, Dustin Hoffman crashes his love's wedding just before she says those fateful words. and they run away together...but at the very end they look at each other as if to say: what the fuck are we going to do now?

And if you knew how much I need you
Oh and I need you like the air
If someone should take you from me
I would run run run runaway
I'd run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway


and we chatted on that damned yahoo im, the one that makes it so easy to misinterpret - no expressions, no body language, no inflection - just pixelated bits on a screen. and you said that you didn't think that you could go through with it...marrying him. i told you it wasn't my place to tell you what to do. and i asked you if you wanted to run away with me, in my smart-ass, shithead way. you said no...then...yes.

i should have turned that fucking truck around!
