Khalid
Eastside
[Verse 1]
When I was young, I fell in love
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough
Then we grew up, we started to touch
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
Didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late

[Chorus]
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day, you know that we ride
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your old life, then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
We'll start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2: Halsey]
17 and we got a dream to have a family
A house, and everything in between
And then, oh, suddenly, we turned 23
And now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
We got our dead-end jobs and we got bills to pay
Have our old friends are now our enemies
And now I, I'm thinking back to when I was young
Back to the day when I was falling in love

[Chorus]
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
And every day, you know that we ride
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
We can go anywhere we want
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
Take your old life, then you put a line through it
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
So come away, starting today
We'll start a new life together in a different place
We know that love is how all these ideas came to be
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge]
Run away, run away
Run away, run away now
Run away, run away
Run away, run away

[Outro]
She used to meet me on the Eastside
She used to meet me on the Eastside
She used to meet me on the Eastside
She used to meet me on the Eastside
In the city where the sun don't set
