[Storyteller.]

Come closer now;
I know your desire is to be desired.
Steal a kiss yet and call us friends.
Distance is the thief in which you conspire.

Turn and time and time will tell,
time will tell or tear us apart.
You're miles and miles and miles away.
Silence reveals where we really are.

You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl.
You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl,
runaway, runaway girl.

It's clearer now.
You're nowhere into giving,
giving into, giving into me.
It's your fault.
You're like a rare disease.
I know you're in love,
with love I believe.

Turn and time and time will tell,
time will tell or tear us apart.
You're miles and miles and miles away.
Silence reveals where we really are.

You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl.
You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl,
runaway, runaway girl.

Do you expect me to wait here?
(All alone in my thoughts and fears.)
My whole life could flash before your eyes.
(Hope one day that you realize.)
This isn't the way it's supposed to be.
(This is your life girl, now without me.)
May regrets for us well up inside.
(As feelings for you are buried alive.)
Buried alive.

You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl.
You only stand to break my heart;
I can tell it by the way you run away,
runaway girl,
runaway, runaway girl.

I only stand to break your heart;
you can tell it by the way I walk away,
runaway girl.
I only stand to break your heart;
you can tell it by the way I run away,
runaway girl...
