[Verse 1]
We were heroes in a hometown
Plastic crowns and borrowed jeans
Every Friday at the field lights
You were right there next to me
Thought forever meant the same thing
Guess your forever changed its mind
Now your shadow’s on my front porch
But your hand’s not holding mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna cage your dreaming
I don’t wanna clip your sky
If you gotta go
I’ll let you
But there’s something you should know tonight
[Chorus]
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
You’re the only one I need
I don’t wanna steal your freedom
Just wanna steal a couple minutes
Maybe three
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
We can start from where we cracked
I don’t wanna change your heartbeat
I just wanna beat right next to that
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
[Verse 2]
Same streets
Different silence
Your perfume on every turn
I see love in every window
But for us it just got burned
You said “we’re growing different”
I heard “you’re not good enough”
Now I’m talking to the mailbox
Like it’s you I’m breaking up
[Pre-Chorus]
All our friends pick little sides now
Same old bar
Brand-new lines
You’re a ghost at our old table
I still save your favorite side
[Chorus]
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
You’re the only one I need
I don’t wanna steal your freedom
Just wanna steal a couple minutes
Maybe three
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
We can stitch this where it’s torn
Wall to wall with you beside me
Every crack could feel like home once more
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
[Bridge]
If you need space
I’ll wait in it (yeah)
If you need time
I’ll keep mine slow
I’m not asking for your whole life
Just one more “maybe” before you go (before you go)
[Chorus]
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
You’re the only one I need
I don’t wanna steal your freedom
Just wanna steal a couple minutes
Maybe three
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
Let the past be what it was
I just want your hand in my hand
Every scar a little proof of us
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back (come back)
Don’t run away
Baby
Come back
