Run Away
Julie Ellinor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you’ve been swimming in the deep end
And you thought you could never get back in
You’ve been caught in the deep end

Even when it’s darkest
Even when the lights get low
Even when the silence
Makes you wanna lose control

Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion
Run away
You’re falling into déjà vu
Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion
Run away
You’re falling into déjà vu

Are you getting lost in a hazy dream?
Afraid to face the tears you’re holding back
Where do you go when the night turns black?

You know you’ve been swimming in the deep end
And you thought time could never be your friend
You’re not caught in the deep end

Even when it’s darkest
Even when the lights get low

Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion
Run away
You’re falling into déjà vu
Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion
Run away
You’re falling into déjà vu

Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion
Run away
You’re falling into déjà
Run away
You’re stuck in an emotion




Run away
You’re turning into someone new

I know you′ve been swimming in the deep end
And you thought you could never get back in
You've been caught in the deep end

See it in your eyes
You look so different
You can barely feel the cold breeze on your skin
A passing life in the distance

Even when it′s darkest
Even when the lights get low
Even when the silence
Makes you wanna lose control

Run away
You're stuck in a motion
Run away
You're falling into déjà vu
I know how much you hurt

Run away
You′re stuck in a motion
Run away
You′re falling into déjà vu
I know how much you hurt

Are you getting lost in a hazy dream?
Afraid to face the tears you're holding back
Where do you go when the night turns black?

You know you′ve been swimming in the deep end
And you thought time could never be your friend
You're not caught in the deep end

Even when it′s darkest
Even when the lights get low

Run away
You're stuck in a motion
Run away
You′re falling into déjà vu
I know how much you hurt

Run away
You're stuck in a motion
Run away
You're falling into déjà vu
I know how much you hurt

Run away
You′re stuck in a motion
Run away
You′re falling into déjà vu
I know how much you hurt

Run away
You're stuck in a motion
Run away
You′re turning into someone new
I know how much you hurt
