Run Away
Oak Glen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do everything again
I’m on your chest
In the backseat with a sunset
A teenage kind of feeling
I could never get enough
Way too intense for this to last
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
We were just too bright
Our love could blind your eyes
It ended fast, too quickly
But now that’s in the past
A teenage kind of feeling
I could never get enough
So hot, we overheated
Way too intense for this to last
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
Where you go, I’m leaving
Where you go, I’m leaving
Won’t see me
I run away
I run away
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
I run away to dance again
On my own, it’s my only chance
All this pain will fade away
Will fade away
