Runaway Bride

The white dress tail flying behind her
She stumbles over her own two feet
Trying to run, maybe outrun the pain
The mascara stained face abandoning yet another man

Standing on the other side I watch the scene
The young bride once again fleeing
A steady flow of people runs behind her
Hoping to catch a glimpse of the scandal

She's coming closer and I watch her yet again
Nodding at me with a smile between her tears
She never wanted this, I can see it in her eyes

And as I reach out to hold her...
I wake up
---------------------------------------------

That beautiful face I've yet to find
I searched for you all around the town
I've yet to meet you, but somehow I know
You're the girl I've been waiting for

Every night I see her in my dreams
She leaves the man at the altar and runs to me
I may have not seen her yet but I know
She's somewhere out there waiting for me too

I've seen a lot of girls, the most beautiful of all
And none made my heart race like you do, girl
I've been waiting for so long, won't you give me peace?
They say I went crazy, and I'm starting to believe it

Runaway bride...
You've yet to save me
-----------------------------------------------

The chapel never looked more beautiful before
The lights, the flowers, the bells announcing the cause
i don't know why I even came here today
But something in my heart told me I had to

Sitting in the front row I looked at my bro
Standing on the altar beside the groom
I barely know him, but I felt bad for the guy
As he scanned the room nervously, waiting for the bride

The music played, the heads turned
The bride walked down the aisle
I can barely see her face but somehow
I felt some wierd sense of Deja vu'

She reaches the altar, he lifts her veil
I swear I felt my heart literally stop
I suddenly forgot how to breathe
As i stared at the familiar face infront of me

She scans the crowd, her eyes fall on mine
And for a moment there I saw recognition in her eyes
We both kept still, as if under a spell
Only broken with the preacher starting his speech

I didn't know how it happened or why
But next thing I know we're both standing outside
A crowd in front of us, with the stood-up groom in the front
Cuz this time when I reached out to hold her, I didn't wake up

I didn't even know her name...
But she was mine
