Eric Carmen Boats Against The Current Run Away



(eric carmen)

She was just an average blue-eyed
Golden high school dream
An illusion nothing real could ever touch
Funny love seemed so much more intense
At seventeen
When i knew she'd never love me
Half as much

I recall the desperate vow i made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till i prove that i'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best i know i can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And i cannot rest a day until i make her mine

Trades were made for promises
Of a timeless memory
And i knew but still refused to comprehend
The fantasy more glamorous
Then she could ever be
Was the course of least resistance
In the end

I recall the desperate vow i made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till i prove that i'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best i know i can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And i cannot rest a day until i make her mine

Long ago an innocence
Lived deep within my soul
In a yesterday where love
And dreams remain
But disillusion clouds my eyes
And the winter takes it's toll
For the spring has gone
And will not come again

I recall the desperate vow i made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till i prove that i'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best i know i can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And i cannot rest a day until i make her mine

Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And i cannot rest a day until i make her mine
