Runaway
Another Lost Year Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is so much I wanna say to you now
But words can’t make up all this time away
I would give anything and everything
Just to be with you
Thousands of miles can’t separate
My feelings for you

So maybe we’ll run away
And the world would be ours for a day
No one can take you away from me
Not today, so let’s run away

This pain inside feels I may be loosing you
Kills me to know how hard this must have be for you
I would give anything and everything
Just to break away
I’d give you my heart, my pride
Leave everything, I’ll become

So maybe we’ll run away
And the world would be ours for a day
No one can take you away from me
So maybe we’ll run away
And take what it’s ours for a day
Today we’ll leave our enemies, far away
So let’s run away,
Take on this moment, I won’t run it over
I swear it’s not away, not away,
...together, just with me forever
It’s so many ways,

So maybe we’ll run away
And the world would be ours for a day
And no one can take you away from me
Not today,
So maybe we’ll run away
And take what it’s ours for a day




Today we’ll leave our enemies, far away
So let’s run away.
