Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had my way
I tell you what I'd do
I'd make it all okay
And peace for me and you.

I know you've got trouble
But out of that you'll learn
It's the things you want most
Are the things you got to earn, Ha ha ha

Running Away, we need some rejuvenation (Tell the trouth)
Running Away, leaving a bad situation (wohowohowohowo)
Running Away, we need some rejuvenation (Hey)
Running Away, leaving a bad situation (Hey)

If you get confused
Don't you go nowhere else?
You gonna find all you need
Right there in yourself, ha

We all like to bugging
But life is not a game, no
If don't hurry up
None of this would chain

Ooh, We keep
Running Away, we need some rejuvenation
Running Away, leaving a bad situation (That's what I'm goin' to tell you people)
Running Away, we need some rejuvenation (wohowohuwho )
Running Away, leaving a bad situation (Woaah)

Come on y'all
Wouoho Wohuo
Wouoho Wohuo (running away, running away)
What we keep on
Running, Running, Running Away
Running, Running, Running Away
Why do we keep on running
Running, Running, Running Away




Running, Running, Running Away
We can we can we can keep on goin' goin' now!

Mine too....

Kurt Patterson

The secret to the groove of this song is this.A funk bass and drum combination with a reggae guitar and keyboard skank and bubble rhythm on the other side.Put a soaring synth melody line over top of all of this.Pure genius in the rhythm structure arrangement to get a hit song!

Denise Abrams

In my opinion one of the greatest live bands ever, they managed to sound better live and that made them even more amazing, money well spent.To my surprise so was AWB...I know...but I think they got a bad rap those boys could sing their butts off and could handle their instruments too and just like FB & Maze they were so damn good live just wanted the concert to go on forever. I was fortunate to see both bands in smaller venues up close and personal. Thanks for the post.

Daddyman G

Dimitri Jackson
