Guess I go first. So much I love. The lyrics, the music, Mike's passionate and great vocals. This is so different and refreshing and enjoyable all the way around.

I think you could do away with the 3rd verse ("take in a movie..)since after the first Chorus you only have 2 verses and it would be more consistent, also that verse is your weakest lyrically. Only having the two verses before the first Chorus gets you to your Chorus quicker which you want. OR just have a two line lift there like:

bring you home baby, do something crazy... (I replaced "safely" with "baby" since I didn't think "safely" fit). So it would look like this:

Run Away

When I think of you
I think of me
All the surprises
All the sunrises

A friend for me
A friend for you
Late night lovin’
Or doing nothin’

Bring you home baby, do something crazy...

There is a place I can always run away to
When I’m alone and missing you
I watch the waves gently roll in with the tide
Like a blanket unfolding, they open wide
And there you are holding me
As the water surrounds our feet
wrapped in love's caress
At the water’s edge
Oh...run away, run away

Drive along the beach
Go ahead drive me wild
The moon is on our side
Going for the ride

Walk along the pier
Walk and talk all night
Hold my hand, caress it
Take our love, express it

There is a place I can always run away to
When I’m alone and missing you
I watch the waves gently roll in with the tide
Like a blanket unfolding, they open wide
And there you are holding me
As the water surrounds our feet
wrapped in love's caress
At the water’s edge
Oh...run away, run away

As the seagulls take their dives and the water tumbles free
I’ll see you again soon, where our love came to be

There is a place I can always run away to
When I’m alone and missing you
I watch the waves gently roll in with the tide
Like a blanket unfolding, they open wide
And there you are holding me
As the water surrounds our feet
wrapped in love's caress
At the water’s edge
Oh...run away, run away

Run away, run away

Drive along the beach
Go ahead drive me wild
The moon is on our side

Best to both of you,
Lynn
Hey Mike I hope you find one of my lyrics interesting enough to "musicate" someday smile
