Girl, Why'd You Run Away Lyrics

New Amsterdams Girl, Why'd You Run Away

[Originally by Reggie And The Full Effect]

she's driving oh so very fast
trying to get away from her past
i don't think she'll escape

so girl, why'd you run away?
you look so afraid
i hope that it's not of me

you can't sit still for very long
i turned to look but you were gone
i think that i'll stay some more

so girl, why'd you run away?
you look so afraid
i hope that it's not of me

now that you're gone
i wonder what
i could have said to you
i wish i knew
you promised me that

so girl, why'd you run away?
you look so afraid
i hope that it's not of me

she's driving oh so very fast
trying to get away from her past
i don't think she'll escape

so girl, why'd you run away
you look so afraid
i hope that it's not of me
