Runaway
Mr. Little Jeans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black light, old heart is breaking slowly feet pacing the floor,
My hands are ready
You say you do, you got me with a fever wanting more,
To light from heavy,
When you're hand's tied, by the waist side, gonna waste your days away,
Do you wanna wait, and all you can see is me.

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!

That change and time, I should read signs, let day take night away,
Follow the river,
The aircraft, seas, star-war and trees, lie where the air is clean,
To reconsider,
When you're hand's tied, by the waist side, gonna waste your days away,
Do you wanna wait, and all you can see is me.

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!




When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. Little Jeans's "Runaway" depict a person with a broken heart, pacing around their room while their hands are ready for something - possibly a new beginning or a chance to escape their current situation. The singer is so feverishly looking for more that the contrast between lightness and heaviness seems trivial. The scene described appears stagnant because "your hand's tied" to the waist and the only thing that's left is to "waste your days away" - waiting and hoping for a change.


The chorus of the song comes in as a liberating response to the singer's dilemma. It proposes that when you run away, you can go anywhere, implying that the singer is not stuck where they are and there is a world of possibilities out there. The sentiment is repeated multiple times to emphasize the idea of freedom and opportunity that is presented when one decides to take control of their own destiny. The bridge comes in as a shift, with the singer acknowledging that change and time can facilitate a new way of thinking and that it is time to take cues from the universe and move with the river's current. The singer contemplates various natural landscapes like aircraft, seas, trees, and star wars as a possibility to find a place where the air is clean and rejuvenating.


Overall, Mr. Little Jeans's "Runaway" is a song about the freedom to choose one's own path in life, even if it means going off the beaten path and charting new territory.
