Run and Hide
Gone Gone Beyond & The Human Experience Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you understand me?
Do I cross your mind?
From where I'm standing
I can see for miles

I watch everybody move in a straight line
But I got on the loose and was left behind.

Now I've got a place in the back of my mind
We can run and hide.

Do you understand we
only got one life?
If we ain't dancing my love
We're just wasting time.

Everybody wanna be a bottle rocket
Hold on tight I'm gonna tell ya about it
Everybody wanna be a cosmonaut, kid
Gotta get back to a place we ain't been.

Now I've got a place in the back of my mind
We can run and hide.

Now I've got a place in the back of my mind
Currently, I have an unvoiced idea in my head

We can run and hide
We have the opportunity to escape from our current reality
