Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I get a minute
And a couple of seconds
Of your time
I know you probably hear
This everyday
No I ain't trying to come up at you
With a slick line
No no just listen to what I gotta say

Just one look at you
And I can tell that we
Click so perfectly
But how can I put into words
The way you make me feel inside
Butterflies, goosebumps, euphoria
Putting my emotions to work

I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
Away

Girl I never seen an aura
With a brighter shine
I love the energy you radiate
No I don't wanna push myself
Across your borderline
But I just can't let you slip away

Just one look at you
And I can tell that we
Click so perfectly
But how can I put into words
The way you make me feel inside
Butterflies, goosebumps, euphoria
Putting my emotions to work

I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
Away

Runaway runaway
Runaway runaway
Away

I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway
Baby we can runaway
I wanna love you
So girl if you want to
We can runaway

Baby we can runaway
Away

Line by Line Meaning

Can I get a minute
May I request a brief moment

And a couple of seconds
In addition, may I have a few seconds

Of your time
To ask for your attention

I know you probably hear
I am aware that you may have heard

This everyday
This type of request quite regularly

No I ain't trying to come up at you
I am not attempting to approach you with an aggressive tone

With a slick line
Using some type of smooth or manipulative tactic

No no just listen to what I gotta say
Instead, please hear me out

Just one look at you
Merely observing you

And I can tell that we
I instantly sense that you and I

Click so perfectly
Connect naturally and easily

But how can I put into words
However, it is difficult to articulate

The way you make me feel inside
How your presence affects my emotions internally

Butterflies, goosebumps, euphoria
A combination of joyful feelings

Putting my emotions to work
Stirring and energizing my emotions

I wanna love you
I desire to express love towards you

So girl if you want to
If you feel the same way

We can runaway
We can escape reality together

Baby we can runaway
We will be able to create our own world

Girl I never seen an aura
I have never witnessed such a radiant aura

With a brighter shine
That emits so much brilliance

I love the energy you radiate
I adore the positive energy you exude

No I don't wanna push myself
I do not wish to impose or come on too strong

Across your borderline
Overstep your boundaries

But I just can't let you slip away
But I cannot bear to lose you

Runaway runaway
Escaping from the world

Away
Far away from reality
