Runaway
Aurora Lyrics

I was listening to the ocean
I was absorbed in the sound of the ocean and its rhythms.

I saw a face in the sand
I noticed an image of a face in the sand.

But when I picked it up
But as soon as I tried to seize it with my hands,

Then it vanished away from my hands, dah
It disappeared and I was unable to hold onto it.

I had a dream I was seven
I dreamed I was a child of seven.

Climbing my way in a tree
I ascended a tree step-by-step with a certain end in view.

I saw a piece of heaven
I glimpsed a segment of paradise.

Waiting in patience for me, dah
It was calmly waiting for my arrival.

And I was running far away
I was running an enormous distance away from everything.

Would I run off the world someday?
I wondered if I might run so far I'd leave the planet.

Nobody knows, nobody knows
I felt uncertain and alone in my journey.

And I was dancing in the rain
I enjoyed frolicking in the rain and felt free.

I felt alive and I can't complain
I felt vital and had no objection.

But no, take me home
I changed my mind suddenly and demanded to return home.

Take me home where I belong
Bring me to the place where I am truly appreciated.

I can't take it anymore
I was at my limit emotionally and couldn't stand it anymore.

I was painting a picture
I was creating art on a canvas.

The picture was a painting of you
The piece of artwork depicted your image.

And for a moment I thought you were here
I had the sensation that you were present.

But then again, it wasn't true, dah
But then I realized it was a false idea.

And all this time I have been lying
I had been deceitful to myself for an extended period of time.

Oh, lying in secret to myself
I had been dishonest with myself about my own feelings.

I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf, la-di-da
I've been suppressing distress in a distant, unapproachable area.

But I kept running for a soft place to fall
Despite my struggle, I remained searching for a place of comfort and safety.

And I kept running for a soft place to fall
I persisted in my attempts to find a haven.

And I kept running for a soft place to fall
I kept on searching for a place to rest.

And I kept running for a soft place to fall
I continuously searched for a comfortable place to land.

No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no
I was desperately requesting to be brought back to my true home.

I got no other place to go
I had no other option or destination to consider.

I can't take it anymore
I was emotionally unable to deal with the situation and required change.
