Runaway
♪♫ Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It tears so many holes, I stay afloat but I'm
Feel out of control, so petrified
I'm petrified
What am I supposed to do to get by
Did I lose everything I need to survive
'Cause its 4 a.m. and the sweat sets in
Or did you just get on with your life, oh
I've taken time to think and I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally found the words to say
But I can't tell you
If you turn around and run away, run away
What am I supposed to do with these clothes
It's my twisted way of keep you close
I'm a nervous wreck, I'm a broken man
Did you get my message, did it send
Or do you get along on your own, oh
I've taken time to think and I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally found the words to say
But I can't tell you
If you turn around and run away, run away
And it breaks me down when I see your face
You look so different but you feel the same
And I do not understand, I cannot comprehend
The chills your body sends, why did it have to end
I've taken time to think and I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling that I
Finally found the words to say
But I can't tell you
If you turn around and run away, run away
I've taken time to think and I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
And I have this feeling that I
Finally found the words to say
But I can't tell you
If you turn around and run away, run away
Runaway, runaway
Turn around and runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
But I can't tell you if you runaway, runaway
Turn around and runaway

The singer questions what he is supposed to do with his time and his clothes, as he clings onto anything that reminds him of his partner. He wonders if he has lost everything he needs to survive and is plagued with anxiety and fear of rejection. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has tried to communicate with his partner, but is unsure if they received his messages or if they have even tried to understand his feelings.

The bridge of the song reveals the singer's deep emotional pain and confusion, as he tries to understand why their relationship had to end. He is grappling with the fact that his partner looks different but still feels the same to him, and he cannot comprehend the physical and emotional chills that she sends through his body.
Overall, "Runaway" is a poignant and emotional ballad that touches on the themes of loss, fear, and vulnerability that come with the end of a relationship.

You look so different but you feel the same
You've physically changed but emotionally you're still the same to me
And I do not understand, I cannot comprehend
I don't know why things went wrong, and I can't make sense of it
The chills your body sends, why did it have to end
The physical and emotional connection we had was strong and I don't know why it ended
Runaway, runaway
A plea to leave before it's too late
Turn around and runaway, runaway
An urge to turn back and leave
But I can't tell you if you runaway, runaway
I can't predict what will happen if you choose to leave
Turn around and runaway
Go back and leave

Lyrics:
I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road, I took a fall
Oh baby, why did you run away?
I was there for you in your darkest times
I was there for you in your darkest night
But I wonder, where were you?
When I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
Now, I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you
I was there for you in your darkest times
I was there for you in your darkest night
But I wonder, where were you?
When I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Ye, ye, ye, ah
Ah, ah, mmh, ah
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
But I wonder, where were you?
When I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you

When Adam Levine said, "I was there for you in your darkest times, I was there for you in you darkest nights. But I wonder, where were you? When I was at my worst down on my knees". I felt that.
