[Verse 1]
Stuck, waiting for you
On the dark side of the Moon
With an unbeatable view
At a table for two
[Pre-Chorus]
Texas calls
To take me home
Spent too much time alone
[Chorus]
Honey, what you runnin' from?
When you comin' back to bed?
Toss and turn it all night long with me instead
Honey, what you runnin' from?
Where the hell you headed to?
Do you like the way I run after you?
[Verse 2]
2001
Life or death, you did it for fun
But you flew too close to the Sun (To the Sun)
Now look what you've done (What have you done?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Texas calls
You're out of range
They say they're pickin' up
Somethin' strange
[Chorus]
Honey, what you runnin' from? (Sha-la-la-la-la)
When you comin' back to bed? (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Toss and turn it all night long with me instead (Sha-la-la-la-la, la)
Honey, what you runnin' from? (Sha-la-la-la-la)
Where the hell you headed to? (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Do you like the way I run after you? (Sha-la-la-la-la, la)
[Post-Chorus]
It doesn't have to
It doesn't have to be
Such an odyssey
[Chorus]
Honey, what you runnin' from?
When you comin' back to bed?
Toss and turn it all night long with me instead
Honey, what you runnin' from? (Sha-la-la-la-la)
Where the hell you headed to? (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Do you like the way I run after you? (Sha-la-la-la-la, la)
[Outro]
(Sha-la-la-la-la) It doesn't have to
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la) It doesn't have to be
(Sha-la-la-la-la, la) Such an odyssey
(Sha-la-la-la-la) It doesn't have to
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la) It doesn't have to be
(Sha-la-la-la-la, la) Such an odyssey
