[Verse 1]

I came for the smile, I stayed for the laugh

Tried waiting it out, but love didn't pass

And everywhere I go you know I'm going

'Cause I think that I might run into you

I stayed for the conversation even though

I came for the view


[Verse 2]

I loved all those days, stripped socks on your floor

Cold hands on your face, but I wanted more

I'm sorry that it took me so long to see

What everyone else could already see

That all this time you made me a better me


[Chorus]

So let's run away, take me to Portland

We'll get a cab, we'll leave in the morning

Don't need a ring we'll get a tattoo

I was happy alone but I'm happy with you

Let's run away, get a train up to Boise

Fuck these degrees in how to make money

Roasting potatoes, wearing your sweater

We can kill time just being together

I came for the

I came for the

I came for the view

I came for the

I came for the

I came for the view


[Verse 3]

I called you a friend, I crashed in your bedroom

You were so close I could reach out and touch you

(Reach out and touch you, reach out and)

And everything I write you know I write it

'Cause it might be beautiful to you

I stayed for the conversation even though

I came for the view


[Chorus]

Let's run away, take a plane down to Austin

I can write country, we can go dancing

Spend all our free time playing at bars

I'll learn the bass you'll pick up that guitar

Let's run away, let's drive to Seattle

Sippin' coffee in rain boots and flannels

Don't need a kid or a white picket fence

We can have dogs and lots of good friends

Came for the view


[Bridge]

Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll

Stay a while, stay a while

Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll

Stay a while, stay stay a while

Stay a while, stay a while, I'll

Stay a while, stay stay a while, oh


[Chorus]

Let's run away, let's live in Atlanta

I'll be your peach tree, you'll be my sweet tea

I'll eat you up like mosquitoes in summer

Don't care where you are if we're there together

So let's run away, take me to Portland

We'll get a cab, we'll leave in the morning

Don't need a ring we'll get a tattoo

I was happy alone but I'm happy with you

Let's run away, get a train up to Boise

Fuck these degrees in how to make money

Roasting potatoes, wearing your sweater

We can kill time just being together

Let's run away, take a plane down to Austin

I can write country, we can go dancing

Spend all our free time playing at bars

I'll learn the bass you'll pick up that guitar

Let's run away, let's drive to Seattle

Sippin' coffee in rain boots and flannels

Don't need a kid or a white picket fence

We can have dogs and lots of good friends

Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll
