Covered As: I Ran (So Far Away) by Bowling For Soup
I Ran (So Far Away) by Hidden In Plain View
I Ran (So Far Away) by Tegan And Sara
I walked along the avenue

I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawney eyes

The kind of eyes that hypnotise me through
Hypnotise me through
And I ran, I ran so far away

I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head

A beam of light comes shining
down on you
shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still

Arora borealis comes in view
Arora comes in view
And I ran, I ran so far away
Reached out a hand to touch
your face

You're slowly disappearing
From my view
Appearing from my view
Reaches out a hand to try again

I'm floating in a beam of light with you
Beam of light with you
And I ran
I ran so far away

I just ran
I ran all night and day

And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn't get away
A Flock Of Seagulls

You should have said "best indie rock song ever." (Not pressuring you, just letting you know)

I've got to say - my favorite New Wave tune of the '80s. The guitar solo itself is a gem and what an unforgettable and iconic synth line.
