i don't wanna go where the lovers go   like we did when you were mine   and this crying all the time   it ain't no fun   when i gotta run      and i don't wanna hear you on the other line   saying "babe, i'll let you go"   'cause the one thing that i know   is that i'm done   and i gotta run      'cause he don't love you like i do   ((no way))   and i can't chase you anymore   today   what can i say? i got a problem      all i wanna do is just run to you      i don't wanna get into a million fights   like we did when we went out   only stupid people shout   about something   that is burning out      so i don't wanna see you on the fire escape   on the hottest august night   'cause these memories, sharp and bright   stick in my lungs   when i gotta run      so i'll have the girls you hate get in my car   and i'll make 'em think that i'm a superstar   and i'll drive to the place we used to   sit by the sea   -where we screamed-   you and me
