Runway
Blue Hamilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I
am playing
run away on an LA freeway
I
Am soon to be on my way
New York's been saving all her sunny days
There's no way to avoid this, no way
So you can send me lovenotes of goodbye
Believe in true love that's frozen in time
I could be your champion, and you could be mine
But you're about to taxi down the runway
Without saying goodbye
I
Am lost, without you by my side
And I wake
Everyday to find a place far from yesterday
It's okay if you don't love me
And if you want to hurt me, you can
Send me lovenotes of goodbye
Believe in true love that's frozen in time
I could be your champion, and you could be mine
But you're about to taxi down the runway
Without saying goodbye
Love is all we need
Don't give up on me
I am here waiting
It's a long life, and you know who we are
Send me lovenotes of goodbye
Believe in true love that's frozen in time
DSend me lovenotes of goodbye
Believe in true love that is frozen in time
I could be your champion, and you could be mine
But you're about to taxi down the runway
Without saying
Send me lovenotes of goodbye
Believe in true love that is frozen in time
I could be your champion, and you could be mine
But you're about to taxi down the runway
Without saying goodbye
If love is all we need
Why did you give up on me?
Goodbye




If love is all we need
Why did you give up on me?

Overall Meaning

Blue Hamilton's song "Runway" is a heartfelt ballad that depicts the story of a person (presumably the singer) who is feeling lost, abandoned and hurt. The song begins with the singer expressing his desire to run away, probably from his present circumstances and the pain that it has been causing him. He is driving on the freeway, about to embark on a journey from LA to New York, leaving behind everything and everyone that he has known. The song seems to indicate that he is seeking solace in traveling and discovering new places, hoping to find some sense of peace and happiness. However, the newness of a place cannot ease the pain of someone he is leaving behind.


The singer then goes on to express his feelings towards the person he is leaving behind. He is aware that the other person doesn't love him, and is capable of causing him pain. Despite this, he emphasizes that he still believes in love and hopes that the other person can too. He promises to be the other person's champion, indicating that he is always willing to support them, regardless of their feelings towards him. Nevertheless, as the other person is about to leave, he cannot help but feel abandoned and unheard. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer questioning why love cannot be enough to keep them together.
