You ought to be careful with your promises

The first rule of love is to believe you

Words can come so easy from a thousand miles

Away and on the telephone line, so baby

Tell me where you gonna run to?

When we're finally standing face to face

A promise can never take the place

Of kissing goodnight and never leaving

You afraid that love will slow you down

So where you gonna run to now?

It's easy to keep safe at a distance

Protecting the world the way that you do

But safe isn't love and lovers can't be made

If they were never given a chance, so baby

Tell me where you gonna run to?

When we're finally standing face to face

A promise can never take the place

Of kissing goodnight and never leaving

You afraid that love will slow you down

So where you gonna run to now?

Get into your heart

Just get out of your head

Nothing comes easy when you are afraid

Then we can start

To see what our lives would be

If we're not apart

Tell me where you gonna run to?

When we're finally standing face to face

A promise can never take the place

Of kissing goodnight and never leaving

You afraid that love will slow you down

So where you gonna run to now?

Tell me where you gonna run to
