Runaway
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag
Climb out the window
All the pictures and pain
I left behind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
And I wonder
How far it'll take me
To run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say, not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
I'm too young to be
Taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy
And I wonder
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake
I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away?
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
I could sing for change
On a Paris street
Be a red light dancer
In New Orleans
I could start again
To the family
I could change my name
Come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you?
Wasn't it you?
Wasn't it you that made me run away?
I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say, not as you do
Never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me

Line by Line Meaning
I've got my things packed
I have gathered and organized all of my belongings
My favorite pillow
My pillow that I cherish and hold sentimental value to me
Got my sleeping bag
I have a portable bedding that I can use for sleeping outdoors
Climb out the window
I am escaping by leaving through the window instead of the usual exit
All the pictures and pain
All the memories, both good and bad, that I am leaving behind
I left behind
I have abandoned and relinquished them as I sought to escape
All the freedom and fame
The liberty I possessed and the recognition I attained are the things I must abandon
I've gotta find
I must search and discover something that cannot be found here
And I wonder
I am curious and uncertain about what would happen next
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
I am waiting for the people I left behind to realize my absence
How far it'll take me
The extent of the journey I am going to embark upon is still unclear
To run away
My objective is to escape from the situation I am in
It don't make any sense to me
The events and circumstances that led me to this point do not seem logical or reasonable
This life makes no sense to me
The way that I am living and what I am experiencing do not seem meaningful to me
I was just trying to be myself
I was attempting to be true to who I am and not what others expect me to be
Have it your way; I'll meet you in hell
I will comply with your expectations, even if it leads me to my downfall
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell
I have hidden knowledge that is dangerous or harmful to divulge
It's hypocritical of you
You are not practicing what you preach, and it is contradictory and insincere
Do as you say, not as you do
You hold yourself to a higher standard than what you demand from others
I'm too young to be
I am not old enough to be considered a mature and competent individual
Taken seriously
My opinions and actions are not being given adequate consideration or respect
But I'm too old to believe
I am no longer capable of having complete faith and trust in everything
All this hypocrisy
The contradictions and insincerity that exist around me
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
It will take them a while to notice that I have left, as I have cleaned up after myself
If I was a mistake
I am questioning whether I am not supposed to be here or should not have been born at all
I might have nowhere left to go
I am not sure if I have any other viable options available
But I know that I cannot go home
Returning to where I came from is not a possibility, either due to external circumstances or personal reasons
These words are strapped inside my head
These thoughts and feelings are stored and persistent within my mind
Tell me to run before I'm dead
I am being compelled to escape before it is too late and detrimental to me
Chase the rainbows in my mind
I am pursuing an elusive and idealistic goal that may not be obtainable
And I will try to stay alive
I will attempt to survive and endure despite the hardships and dangers
Maybe the world will know one day
It is possible that my story and my reasons for leaving will be revealed and understood by others in the future
Why won't you help me run away?
I am appealing for assistance in my quest to escape and start anew
I could sing for change
I am capable of using my singing talents for financial gain
On a Paris street
In the city of Paris, France, which is known for its artistic and cultural richness
Be a red light dancer
I could be a performer in adult entertainment, which can be viewed as taboo by society
In New Orleans
The city of New Orleans, Louisiana, which is famous for its jazz music and lively nightlife
I could start again
I have the opportunity to begin my life anew
To the family
I can return to my relatives and start or restart a life with their support
I could change my name
I have the option of adopting a new identity and starting fresh
Come and go as I please
I have the liberty and autonomy to do as I please without being constrained or held back
In the dead of night
During the late hours when it is dark and quiet
You'll wonder where I've gone
You will realize that I am missing and search for me
Wasn't it you?
You are being questioned and accused of being a factor in my decision to escape
Wasn't it you?
You are being challenged and held accountable for your role in causing this situation
This life makes no sense to me
I cannot find any meaning or purpose in the way I am living
It don't make no sense to me
The experiences and circumstances I am encountering are confusing and illogical
It don't make any sense to me
The way I am living and the things happening around me do not seem logical or reasonable
Life don't make any sense to me
The concept and reality of life cannot be understood or comprehended by me
