River City Runaway

Are you just another river city runaway
Is there anything that I can do to make you stay
Save me from myself

Cigarette burns on the carpet
Why is the front door wide open
Try to call out your name
No response and I'm to blame

How could I know
These self-destructive tendencies
Would lead you this far away from me

Are you just another river city runaway
Is there anything that I can do to make you stay
Save me from myself

I refuse to believe that this is my reality
No, my stories don't mean a thing
when I just wanna make you sing

You know I'm reeling from a heavy-handed blow
I can't get over it
That's what you said

Are you just another river city runaway
Is there anything that I can do to make you stay
Save me from myself
Bad habit of getting in my own way
Where's the balance in this give and take
Save me from myself

I swear I'm not a monster
I know I've got a plan
I'm gonna make things right
Just got a little out of hand
I'm not asking you to take a number
I'm not saying I'm a winning bet
But don't write me off just yet

Are you just another river city runaway
Is there anything that I can do to make you stay

Are you just another river city runaway
Is there anything that I can do to make you stay
Save me from myself
Bad habit of getting in my own way
Where's the balance in this give and take
Save me from myself
