Runaway Jack Rootes

[Verse 1]

Hello, my love
I'm so sorry at this hour I had to wake you up
But I just called you to let you know I'm on my way
I've been excited to be with you throughout yesterday
Can't wait until the moment we meet face to face
I've left a little letter for my parents back at my place
Left my mobile phone at home so that they can't track me
But they are the reason that I'm feeling far from happy
The news and the police will only report me missing
Really, I'm off somewhere with you hugging and kissing
And deep down, I pray my location to them's a mystery
If they find out where I am, they'll drag me back to misery

All they do is talk about you like you're a catfish
And that if I want to be with you, I'm taking the piss
They see me talking to you and act like it's an eyesore
And just earlier, they said I can't talk to you anymore!
But what the fuck do THEY know?
Your voice is heavenly, that's why I'm at this payphone
So I waited 'till they were fast asleep, that was my mark
To hop out of bed, out the house and into the dark
I’ve got a bit of money in my little orange wallet
Some bags with my belongings and my car that's foreign
Driving through the roads by only the glow of the moon
I love you sweetheart and I hope to see you soon
