I met a girl from Palmdale, she had bags under her eyes
A desert thing about her, she was void of any life
She moved out to LA she was running from the pain
She thought I'd be the one to take it away
But I'm the one who needs someone
I'm the one who's on the run
I came out from the East Coast, I was chasing down a dream
It was never about the money, it was all about the scene
And heaven knows I'm trying but my best is not enough
I'm getting in my car to pick you up
Cause I'm the one who needs someone
Oh I'm the one who's on the run
Hold on to each other
Hold on to me
The world is a dark dark place
And you're all I see
It felt so California when I found out you were gone
You texted me you missed me and you were staying with your mom
I always thought I'd be the one to lead you on
I always thought I'd be the one to leave
But I'm the one who needs someone
I'm the one who's on the run
