[Intro: Khalid]
Uh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Khalid]
When I was young,
I fell in love
We used to hold hands,
man, that was enough (yeah)
Then we grew up,
started to touch
Used to kiss underneath
the light on the back
of the bus (yeah)
Oh no, your daddy
didn't like me much
And he didn't believe me
when I said you were the one
Oh, every day she found a way
out of the window
to sneak out late
[Chorus: Khalid]
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
In the city where
the sun don't set
And every day you
know that we ride
Through the backstreets
of a blue Corvette
Baby, you know
I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast,
jump in the seat
Just take my hand and
come with me
[Post-Chorus: Khalid]
We can do anything
if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then
you put a line through it
My love is yours
if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause
I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together
in a different place
We know that love is
how these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2: Halsey]
Seventeen and we got
a dream to have a family
A house and everything i
n between
And then, oh, suddenly
we turned twenty-three
Now we got pressure for taking
our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs
and got bills to pay
Have old friends and
know our enemies
Now I-, I'm thinking back to
when I was young
Back to the day when
I was falling in love
[Chorus: Halsey]
He used to meet me
on the Eastside
In the city where
the sun don't set
And every day you know
where we ride
Through the backstreets
in a blue Corvette
And baby, you know
I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast,
jump in the seat
Just take my hand and
come with me
Singing
[Post-Chorus: Halsey & Khalid]
We can do anything
if we put our minds to it
Take your whole life then you
put a line through it
My love is yours
if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause
I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
Start a new life, together
in a different place
We know that love is
how these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge: Halsey & Khalid]
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
Run away, now
[Outro: Halsey & Khalid]
He used to meet me
on the Eastside
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
He used to meet me
on the Eastside
She used to meet me
on the Eastside
In the city where
the sun don't set
