Jack Rootes - Runaway lyrics

Hello, my love i'm so sorry at this hour I
Had to wake you up
But, I just called you to let you
Know I'm on my way i've been excited to be
With you throughout yesterday
Can't wait until the moment we
Meet face to face
I've left a little letter for my
Parents back at my place
Left my mobile phone at home so
That they can't track me
But they are the reason that
I'm feeling far from happy
The news and the police will
Only report me missing
Really, I'm off somewhere with
You hugging and kissing and deep down
I pray my location to them's a mystery
If they find out where I am
They'll drag me back to misery
All they do is talk about
You like you're a catfish
And that if I want to be with you
I'm taking the piss
They see me talking to you and
Act like it's an eyesore and just earlier
They said I can't talk to you anymore!
But what the fuck do THEY know?
Your voice is heavenly
That's why I'm at this payphone
So I waited 'till they were fast asleep
That was my mark to hop out of bed
Out the house and into the dark
I’ve got a bit of money
In my little orange wallet
Some bags with my belongings and
My car that's foreign
Driving through the roads by only
The glow of the moon
I love you sweetheart and I
Hope to see you soon

I'm giving you a night call to
Tell you how I feel
I'm gonna tell you something you
Don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dark
But have no fear
I'm giving you a night call to
Tell you how I feel

I’ve been so scared since my son disappeared
As a parent it’s a
Kidnapping that I’ve feared
I walked into his room, as calm as the ocean
To find his bed empty and
His window wide open!
I’ve read his note and all
I have are mixed feelings like Lil Wayne
My worries are having no ceilings!
If he wanted to talk on Facebook
Then that’s fine but, I told him not to
Talk to that person online!
He doesn’t know if that
Person is really honest
Even though he swears that
Person made a promise
But the thing with promises is
That they get broken
Now I’m crying in this room
Stumbling over words spoken!
Maybe this is my fault
Maybe I shouldn’t have kept him shut
Up like a bank vault
I mean, my son hasn’t been gone for too long
But now I’m asking myself where
Did I go wrong? I’ve said this before
But I’m so fucking scared
That he’ll be found dead in a ditch somewhere
I told him if he planned to see her
That he was insane!
But now I’m anxious that I’ll
Never see him again
Every time the door knocks
I always hold my breath i fear the police
Telling me my son’s been found dead
He doesn’t know the route to her
Who knows where he’ll roam
For fuck’s sake son, I beg you, please
Come back home!

Hey Jack
So I’ve thought about your phone call
And I’ve got second thoughts with
The drama and all
Your parents have been worried sick
Since you went missing
You should go back and this
Is not me tripping
I agree with your parents not talking to me
We’ll have the world in our
Hair like lice and fleas
Plus, where will we both go to avoid capture?
Really, your plan’s as stable
As a bone fracture
Mate please,! We barely know each other!
Think about your step sister, brother
Father and mother! I know we talk to each
Other like we’re sacred treasure
But running away from home is
A rather extreme measure besides you’re 21
I’m at least 3 years younger!
Maybe it was dumb of me to give you my number
Enough drama from this has already bubbled
I beg you please, don’t add any more trouble!
Forget about me! You’ve got your
Own life to grow!
You said that if you loved me
You’d let me go! And really
I’m not talking about pounds and pence
But, I want to smack you
Just to give some common sense!
It’s not that I hate you now
That’s not the case
It’s because I care about you
So end this chase!
We can still be friends though
I’m telling you the truth but really
Your family needs you more than I do
