If We Had Run Away
Jazz-pop song with a relaxed, intimate feel: soft piano, gentle acoustic guitar, upright bass and brushed drums at an easy tempo, with a soft, smoky female voice. Wistful and tender, sung in English, about regretting not running away with the one she loved.
Lyrics
The coffee’s cold and the rain is light.I stayed awake through the middle of the night.Thinking of the keys I didn't turn,And all the bridges I refused to burn.We should have left.Packed the bags and headed west.We should have left.Before the world put us to the test.You had your hand on the open door.I said I needed just a little more.More time to think, more time to stay,Now I’m watching years just drift away.We should have left.Packed the bags and headed west.We should have left.Before the world put us to the test.The engine’s quiet in the driveway now.I’d go back if I only knew how.To tell that girl to take the chance,And join you in that final dance.We should have left.Packed the bags and headed west.We should have left.Before the world put us to the test.Just a little too late.Standing at the gate.We should have left.We should have left.
