I climbed the oak tree in Grandma's backyard
To talk to the moon, oh
It said to me, "Son, you'll be alright
Just don't cry."
Ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I went to the mountain side to fight through bees
To earn my name, oh
I fought to the brink of my life
I turned the tide, ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I sailed the river road to catch the fish
That no one's caught, oh
Stared you in the eye
You swam away
I'll catch you someday, ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold

I want you
I love you
Let me hold

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I run away with you
I run away with you

And I run away with you
I run away with you
I run away with you
And I run away with you

I run away with you
