Rachael Sage - Newspaper Lyrics

I was only twelve years old
When I saw you in the newspaper
You were in the police blotter for
Stealing things you could afford

I was just a lonely girl
Who wanted to be someone special
Someone neighbors talked about
When they weren't drunk or bored

Run away, run away, run away
We could be together
Run away, run away, run away with me

Maybe when we're seventeen
We could build ourselves a castle
Somewhere by the Caspian Sea
No parents would be around

You could write me poetry
And I could paint you watercolors
We could stage our one act plays
And grow old gracelessly

Run away, run away, run away
We could be together
Run away, run away, run away with me

Here we are at our reunion
Why's there so much air-conditioning
We small-talk in crop-circles
We both feel like aliens

You tell me that I look great
It's great that I pursue my passion
You epitomized that passion
Twenty years ago

Run away, run away, run away
We could be together
Run away, run away, run away, we could
Run away, run away, run away with me

I was only twelve years ago
When I saw you in the newspaper
