Lyrics

Runaway

Surprise, I can see it in your eyes
You can't hide from me
Feeling scared ready to escape
I can read your neurology

Won't you, won't you save me
I'm looking for a remedy
Won't you save me

Take your time don't go running away from this
Know your mind don't go running around like this
If you set yourself up to fall down
When you do you learn to shift the blame
And lose the one you love
Take your time don't go running away from this
Runaway

There's a boom echoes in my heart
Still don't know if you're near or far
Feel a breeze of a new beginning
You're for keeps don't you runaway

Just place both your feet on the ground
(It keeps you stable)
The ground
(It keeps you stable)
The ground
(It keeps you stable)

You know you've got to...
Take your time don't go running away from this
Know your mind don't go running around like this
If you set yourself up to fall down
When you do you learn to shift the blame
And lose the one you love
Take your time don't go running away from this
Runaway

Always run away
Always run away
Always run away
Always run away
