lyrics

Little pretty girl, she's running from home today. Still isn't sure what she's running from. "But it's gonna be good"- she'd better be right. She keeps everything locked inside and she knows no one will ever find her there.

Hang on for me and I will stand up to him for you. But you know there is only so much I can do.

He sits at home and wonders what he did to make his dad so mad at him. He said "not like that, please not today" he's packing up before he moves away cause he knows there is a better life to find.

Cause he's gotten burned and as far as he's concerned he ain't got the time that he can afford to lose, and she said "come along with me and we can drive towards the sea cause now on a day like today would you like to stay, would you love to stay?" He said some other day, but not today.

He didn't know what he had done. He wished that he could turn and run. Said "everything I did, I did for you, there was only so much that I could do".

He was so afraid about the choice he made. He could've left today but now he's here to stay. It's gonna be good, he knew she was right, he kept it all locked inside and now a day like today he didn't want to stay. He could've gone away. He could've left today, but there's just no way.
