Runaway
George Nozuka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Runaway, let's just runaway
Runaway, let's just runaway

I'm not really with these sappy love songs
You say you're not the one for holding hands
Surrounded by so many lonely couples
And we both understand
This is not our burden
We don't have to stay
We are not committed
Let me lead the way
Hearts are racing
You, I'm chasing
This is our chance
We could just runaway
We could just runaway
Talking where we'll go
As long as we're together
Look into the water
See for yourself
We should just runaway
We should just getaway
We should just runaway
We should just getaway (Runaway)

Everybody know that we've been flirting
So this shouldn't be to hard
This time love was supposed to be you again
So we can live our lives

This is not our burden
No we don't have to stay
We are not committed
Let me lead the way (It's our chance)
Hearts are racing
You, I'm chasing
This is our chance
We should just runaway
We should just getaway
Talking where we'd go
As long as we're together
Look into the water
See for yourself

We should just runaway
We should just getaway
We should just runaway
We should just getaway

Everyone's here right now
So can we getaway
Everyone's here right now
So can we getaway, runaway
Leave it all behind
I'm in love, or am I just crazy?
Leave it all behind
Whether you wanna go, just say it

Hearts are racing
You, I'm chasing
This is our chance
We should just runaway
We should just getaway
Talking where we'd go
As long as we're together
Look into the water
See for yourself
We should just runaway
We should just getaway
We should just runaway
We should just getaway

Hearts are racing
You, I'm chasing
This is our chance
We should just runaway
We should just getaway
Talking where we'd go
As long as we're together
Look into the water
See for yourself
We should just runaway
We should just getaway




We should just runaway
We should just getaway

Overall Meaning

"Runaway" by George Nozuka is a song that speaks to the experience of two people who are interested in each other, but do not want to be tied down to any kind of commitment. The song begins with the chorus, where the singer suggests that they just run away together. Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics describe the push and pull of their relationship. The two characters are not interested in a traditional, committed relationship, but they are also not content with just flirting and having a good time. They both seem to be searching for something deeper, but they are not sure if they can find it together.


The second verse of the song highlights the idea that other people are starting to take notice of their chemistry. The chorus repeats again, as if the two characters are trying to convince themselves that running away is the right thing to do. The bridge of the song is particularly powerful, as the two characters are wrestling with their feelings. They ask each other if what they feel is love or if they are just "crazy." In the end, they decide that they should just go for it and see where it takes them.


The overall message of the song is that sometimes it is necessary to take a risk and step outside of your comfort zone in order to find happiness. The two characters know that running away together might be seen as reckless or immature, but they are willing to take that risk in order to see where their feelings might lead them.
