Ed Sheeran - Runaway

Intro 1

Verse 1

I′ve known it for a long time

Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine

Disappearing all night

I don't wanna know where he′s been lying

I know what I wanna do

Wanna runaway, runaway with you

Gonna grab clothes, six in the morning, go

Pre-Chorus 1

"How long you leaving?"

Well, Dad just don't expect me back this evening

Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this

It's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

Chorus 1

I love him from the skin to my bones

But I don′t wanna live in his home

There′s nothing to say 'cause he knows

I′ll just runaway and be on my own

Verse 2

I've never seen my dad cry

Cold as stone in the kitchen light

I tell you it′s about time

But I was raised to keep quiet

And this is what I'm gonna do

Gonna runaway, gonna make that move

Gonna grab clothes, and when it′s morning, go

Pre-Chorus 2

"How long you leaving?"

Well, Dad just don't expect me back this evening

Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this

It's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

Chorus 2

I love him from the skin to my bones

But I don′t wanna live in his home

There′s nothing to say and he knows

I'll just runaway and be on my own

Verse 3

Backpack and a flat cap, turned to the back

As I packed my clothes up

My dad was a man without plans to attack

And tends to show love

I don′t wanna live this way

Gonna take my things and go

If things change in a matter of days

I could be persuaded to hold up

And mama was the same

None of us are saints

I guess that God knows that

I don't wanna runaway

And one of these days I might just show that

Put my home in a suitcase

Tie both shoe laces, and hope that

Things change, but for now I′ll leave town with a backpack on my shoulder

Chorus 3

I love him from the skin to my bones

But I don't wanna live in his home

There′s nothing to say and he knows

I'll just runaway and be on my own
