Little Quirks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing new to me
Unbalanced words I couldn't tell
I′m falling at your feet
Let me tell you now
I, I'm losing energy
Dial it in and leave it there
She lies outside to feel the cold
You don′t have to know
Let me tell you now
I-I-I, this will have to go
Won′t you imagine this here? (Lately I've been feeling)
In the light of the fire (So tired)
Searching for hands to hold (I just don′t know what to do)
Why don't we run away?
Reel it in and keep it low
Fragile it can be
Resting still and softly spoke
I am on my own
Let me tell you now
I-I-I, this will have to go
Won′t you imagine this here? (Lately I've been feeling)
In the light of the fire (So tired)
Searching for hands to hold (I just don′t know what to do)
Won't you imagine this here? (Lately I've been feeling)
In the light of the fire (So tired)
Searching for hands to hold (I just don′t know what to do)
Why don′t we run away?
Why don't we run away?
Why don′t we run away?
Why don't we run away?
Little Quirks's song "Run Away" is a song that is about feeling overwhelmed and wanting to escape from reality. The lyrics talk about being fooled before and feeling unbalanced due to unclear communication. The singer is falling at someone's feet, but is losing energy and needs the other person to dial it in and leave it there. The singer wants to imagine a world where they can escape from reality and be in the light of the fire searching for hands to hold. They suggest running away together as a solution to their problems.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Won't you imagine this here? In the light of the fire. Searching for hands to hold. Why don't we run away?" This suggests that the singer is yearning for a place where they feel safe and where they have someone to share their burdens with. The imagery of the light of the fire amplifies this sense of warmth and comfort that the singer is seeking.
The verses also talk about the fragility of the situation and the need to take things slowly and softly. The singer acknowledges that they are on their own, but still wants to run away with someone. The song suggests that the singer is feeling lost and needs someone to help guide them out of their current state.
Overall, "Run Away" is a poignant song about the need to escape from one's problems and to find comfort in someone else. It speaks to the universality of feeling overwhelmed and lost, and the desire to find a safe haven.

I've been fooled once before
I'm not a stranger to heartbreak; I've been through it before
Nothing new to me
I'm used to this feeling; it's not surprising
Unbalanced words I couldn't tell
Your words don't match your actions, and it's confusing me
I'm falling at your feet
I'm under your spell and surrendering to you
Let me tell you now
I need to say this to you clearly and directly
I, I'm losing energy
I'm exhausted from trying to make this work
Dial it in and leave it there
Settle for what we have and don't try to change it
Change it, I won't know
If you change things, I won't recognize them because everything feels so hazy
She lies outside to feel the cold
Someone is outside, most likely hurting and trying to numb themselves
You don't have to know
I'm keeping secrets from you because the truth might hurt you
I-I-I, this will have to go
This relationship is not sustainable and needs to come to an end
Won't you imagine this here? (Lately I've been feeling)
Can you see things from my perspective? I've been feeling this way for a while
In the light of the fire (So tired)
In moments of vulnerability and honesty, I'm admitting that I'm drained and exhausted
Searching for hands to hold (I just don't know what to do)
I'm lost and seeking comfort and guidance, but I can't figure out a way forward
Why don't we run away?
Instead of trying to fix this, let's escape and start anew somewhere else
Reel it in and keep it low
Don't draw attention to us; keep our relationship private and contained
Fragile it can be
This relationship is delicate and can easily break
Resting still and softly spoke
We're not talking about our issues, and our problems remain unaddressed
I am on my own
I feel alone in this relationship, and it's not what I want
Why don't we run away?
Let's leave everything behind and start over somewhere else
Why don't we run away?
We need a fresh start, and running away seems like the only solution
Why don't we run away?
The problems in this relationship are too big to fix, so running away is our best option
Why don't we run away?
We're both stuck in this toxic cycle, and running away is a way to break free

I remember the first time that I heard this song, I thought, "They've reached too far!" I did not really like it. But, I listened to it again. And again. It grew and grew on me. Finally, I decided that this is a brilliant performance. Well done, as always, ladies! Wow!
