I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 
Oh well, I know I don’t have to wait for you, 
I could turn around and find someone new 
Find someone new 
Someone that says the things I need to hear 
Doesn’t change, stays the same when I’m near 
I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 
Oh well, I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day 
Oh well I would dearly love to run away 
From your shadow for just one day F#m7
