[Pre-Chorus]

I swear I won't run from you
[Bridge]

I swear I won't run
In another life, I'll keep us bounded
Oh no, I swear I won't run
Won't run from you, I swear about it
I swear I won't run, run
[Chorus]
I guess I'll wait another lifetime, oh (ooh, ooh)
Meet me in another lifetime, oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I guess I'll wait another lifetime (ooh, ooh)
'Cause there I will stay, my darling
I swear I won't run from you
