Runaway
Leah Stargazing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up lonely, feeling sorry,
You're moving further every day.
You're always running away from something,
Your problems will catch up to you
No matter how far you run away.

'Cuz what you need to do
Is everything that I can show to you.
It's what you need right now,
I'll show you how...

'Cuz what you need is someone,
Someone who understands you like I do.
Believe me please, you can turn to me.
I can tell you I know what you're going through.

You gave up trying, you're always crying.
You're always feeling down.
Just always know you're not alone.
When the world has turned its back on you,
Know that I'll still be around.

'Cuz what you need is someone,
Someone who understands you like I do.
Believe me please, you can turn to me.
I can tell you I know what you're going through.

'Cuz what you need to do
Is everything that I can show to you.
It's what you need right now,
I'll show you how...

'Cuz what you need is someone,
Someone who understands you like I do.
Believe me please, you can turn to me.
I can tell you I know what you're going through.

'Cuz what you need is someone,
Someone who understands you like I do.
Believe me please, you can turn to me.
I can tell you I know what you're going through.

'Cuz there's no problem too big
That we can't work it out.
'Cuz what we've got is too big
To just forget about..
