Song Lyrics

You were waiting for your breakfast in the kitchen
That's when I remember seeing those brown eyes
Your sun burned skin belied my disbelief in wishes
When I heard you laugh
I could feel my heart beat hard and out of rhythm

Alyssa kiss goodbye your plan to leave today
It's blissfulness sitting and talking 'bout our lives
Make believe tryst still I will miss your smiley lipstick game
I could fall in love with you
If you'd ever ask me to

You could be drinking chocolate milk somewhere in England
Or be sipping Sauvignon Blanc in a Brooklyn bar
You could be traveling the world with your best college friend
I'd still dream about you doll, wherever you are

Alyssa kiss goodbye your plan to leave today
It's blissfulness sitting and talking 'bout our lives
Make believe tryst still I will miss your moonlit sultry shape
I could fall in love with you
But you'll never ask me to

(Run run run away)
I heard you were leaving
(Run run run away)
Traveling is a lonely word
(Run away run away)

We went skinny dipping late the other evening
You were smiling acting playful like a girl
You were speaking passionately like a woman
I could hear the sound of my world turned upside down

Alyssa kiss goodbye your plan to leave today
It's blissfulness sitting and talking 'bout our lives
Permit me this to read my listed top priority
"I want to run away with you
To somewhere with an ocean view"

Alyssa kiss me we can take it slow
Alyssa call your mother from the road
Just join me for a month or two
Holding hands beneath the summer moon

Come on let's run away
Come on let's run away
Come on let's run away
Let's run away
