Born to Run Away

Lyrics

YOU MAKE ME WANNA STAY [Intro – Heavy Southern rock guitar riffs, deep bass, pounding drums] [Verse 1] I’ve been down roads that led to nowhere, Chased a thousand things that disappeared. Had a heart full of broken promises, And a whiskey glass to drown the years. I got good at saying I don’t need nobody, Built these walls so high I couldn’t see. Thought forever was a word for other people, Till you came along and changed everything. [Pre-Chorus] I was a man with one foot out the door, Never knew what I was searching for. Then you took my hand and pulled me through, Now there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. [Chorus – Explosive guitars, powerful soaring vocals] Girl, you make me wanna stay, When everything in me was born to run away. You make the hardest days feel alright, Turn my darkest storms into a sky full of light. I ain’t saying I’m perfect, Lord knows I’ve tried, But I’ll give you every piece of this heart inside. I never thought forever could feel this way, But girl, you make me wanna stay. [Verse 2] You don’t need a diamond on your finger, To make me feel like I’m a lucky man. It’s the way you laugh when I ain’t funny, And the way you reach out for my hand. You see the good when I can’t find it, Love the parts I used to hide away. And when the whole damn world gets heavy, You’re the reason I can face another day. [Pre-Chorus] You never asked me to be someone new, Just loved the man that you already knew. And if you ever wonder where I’ll be, Baby, listen when I sing. [Chorus – Full band, heavy guitar riffs] Girl, you make me wanna stay, When everything in me was born to run away. You make the hardest days feel alright, Turn my darkest storms into a sky full of light. I ain’t saying I’m perfect, Lord knows I’ve tried, But I’ll give you every piece of this heart inside. I never thought forever could feel this way, But girl, you make me wanna stay. [Instrumental – Extended Southern rock electric guitar solo, soaring bends, heavy drums] [Bridge – Emotional vocals building into powerful rock crescendo] If the road gets rough, I’ll hold on tighter, If the flame burns low, I’ll be the lighter. If the world falls down, let it fall on me, I’ll be the man you can always believe. I spent half my life just running scared, Now I can’t imagine you not being there. And if forever ain’t enough time, I’ll spend another lifetime making you mine! [Final Chorus – Explosive drums, huge guitar riffs, soaring vocals] GIRL, YOU MAKE ME WANNA STAY! When every road I knew just led me away! You make a broken man believe, That love ain’t something everybody leaves! I ain’t saying I’m perfect, but I’ll spend my life, Trying to be the man you deserve by your side! And when my hair turns gray and my strength fades away, I’ll still be loving you the same! [Outro – Emotional electric guitar fading] Yeah, I spent my whole life running away… Never thought I’d find a reason to change… But every time I look into your eyes, I see the rest of my life. Girl… You make me wanna stay.
