Run Away
Finley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your car is broken down
Leave that place, don't cry aloud
This crime is gonna hurt
Your self-esteem

Someone called the FBI
This time they want to find you
I know why
And you're sure you're guilty now

Today you're falling down
And there's nothing left to lose
Here's only one last thing
you should have done

Run away, just run away
Hope has left this creepy town
There's no time, the sun goes down
Run away just run away
From their guns and from their mouths
Three bad words say "no way out"
And if you…

...If you find a place to hide
All the sins you have got inside,
That's not enough to clean your heart

Too many years without a friend,
Without a family, without
The consciousness of losing
what you have

Today you're falling down
And there's nothing left to lose
Here's only one last thing
You should have done

Run away just run away
Hope has left this creepy town
There's no time, the sun goes down
Run away just run away
From their guns and from their mouths
Three bad words say "no way out"

And all you've got
Is an enormous regret
You're not a person that understands
I bet you'll be wrong once again…

Run away just run away
Hope has left this creepy town
There's no time the sun goes down
Run away just run away
From their guns and from their mouths
Three bad words say "no way out"

Run away just run away
If you search new solutions
But you are under-pressure




My advice not so precious:
Run away!
