| Song | You'd Rather Run |
| Artist | Jaymay |
| Album | Autumn Fallin' |
| run yr fingers through yr hair, let's pick up from where we left off | |
| call all your friends, announce the new victory | |
| once u were sweet to me-- knock it off | |
| the music doesn't move you, doesn't soothe you, doesn't prove youre worth a dime | |
| you work round the clock, watch it tick and tock, but this isn't your time | |
| move over son, it's my turn to shine | |
| was there ever a moment, one small slice in history when i took you seriously? | |
| when your belt and your shoes did not announce your poor taste so fearlessly? | |
| cause that's news to me. | |
| and u can forget it, i get it, i just dont let it get to me | |
| i regret to inform i do not fret or mourn the way things used to be | |
| it's all in the past now, it's all gone | |
| and the only way into the sun is walking, but youd rather run | |
| youd rather run . . . away | |
| the songs he writes are for "dad" the true love lost 'fore he ever had | |
| if stories begun "if father loved son" we wouldn't be feelin so bad | |
| but doesn't everyone? | |
| and it's not that i hate you i never loved u enough to hate you | |
| to get even or mad so as not to seem sad just seems ungrateful | |
| cause really i am thankful im sad | |
| maybe we're the same unabashed and unashamed then again i dunno where u came from | |
| you keep carvin out names - first jamie then james and i cant keep up to restrain u | |
| how come? | |
| we two came together for worst and for better it's true | |
| and the weather is clever but she's not the only one getting over you | |
| . . . it's me too | |
| and the only way into the sun is walking, but youd rather run | |
| youd rather run away | |
| my god, it's no fun to watch u play dumb with yr ugly hand on her thigh | |
| and she's nervous too but politeness eschews the impulse to finger deny | |
| plus yr girlfriends a spy | |
| and what would she think to look up from her drink and find you | |
| in your sad little vest tryin hard to undress the girls you sat down next to | |
| shell think nothing-- she'll be thinking of u | |
| im glad i dont know the places you go, im glad for u and for them | |
| let's be discreet if we are to meet on Ludlow ever again | |
| dont mention Ben | |
| it's funny what u miss, it's funny what u don't | |
| ive thought it all through, the potential to fondly reminisce is this: | |
| i wont | |
| and the only way into the sun is walking, but youd rather run | |
| youd rather run away | |
| don't say we got along, that's remarkably wrong, it doesn't suggest or imply | |
| the thing about us u dont dare discuss | |
| we never got along famously we just tried | |
| i tried to be good, i tried to be gracious and kind | |
| but working with u has done nothing but prove a total waste of time | |
| cause the real curse is yr mind | |
| sometimes at night i stare at the ceiling and wonder what's wrong with me | |
| to involve myself with people who don't know what my | |
| true feeling might possibly be | |
| who latch onto my strength like it's all they've got | |
| it takes all of my strengths and i go through such lengths to show them it is not | |
| what they think they are stealing | |
| and the only way into the sun is walking, but youd rather run | |
| youd rather run away | |
| yes, the only way into the sun is walking, but youd rather run | |
