Eastside

He used to meet me on the Eastside He used to meet me on the Eastside When I was young, I fell in love We used to hold hands, man, that was enough Then we grow up, started to touch Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus Oh no, my daddy didn't like you much And he didn't believe me when you said I was the one Oh, every day, I found a way to sneak out of the window and late He used to meet me on the Eastside In the city where the sun don't set And every day you know that we ride Backstreets in my blue Corvette Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight We can go anywhere we want Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea Just take my hand and come with me, yeah We can do anything if we put our minds to it Take your whole life then you put a line through it My life is yours if you're willing to take it Give me your heats 'cause I ain't gonna break it So come away, starting today Start a new life together in a different place We know that love is how all these ideas came to be So baby, run away with me 17, and we got a dream To have a family, a house and everything in between And when, oh, suddenly we turned 23 Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously We got our dead-end jobs, we got bills to pay Half our friends are now our enemies Now I, I'm thinking back to when I was young Back to the day when I was falling in love He used to meet me on the Eastside In the city where the sun don't set And every day you know that we ride Backstreets in my blue Corvette Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight We can go anywhere we want Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea Just take my hand and come with me, yeah We can do anything if we put our minds to it Take your whole life then you put a line through it My life is yours if you're willing to take it Give me your heats 'cause I ain't gonna break it So come away, starting today Start a new life together in a different place We know that love is how all these ideas came to be So baby, run away with me Run away now Run away now Run away now (run away) Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now Run away now He used to meet me on the Eastside He used to meet me on the Eastside In the city where the sun don't set
