Runaway
Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Stepping out of the shade
Wanna bathe in the light
They're giving us a bad name
Being good never felt quite right
Far away from here, we're gold
As long as we're together
Hey, yeah-yeah
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor
Got every day to live for
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Oh, yeah, born to run away
We're living in color
Yesterday was black and white
No more looking over my shoulder
We'll be in paradise
I know there's someplace better
Far away from here, we're gold
As long as we're together
Hey, yeah-yeah
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor
Got every day to live for
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Oh, yeah, born to run away
And we'll drive through the night
Following the moonlight
I'll be right by your side
We were born to run away, ooh-yeah-yeah (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away, away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor (no, no)
Got every day to live for (ooh)
We were born to run away (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Oh, yeah, born to run away
(Runaway) oh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Runaway with me (runaway)
Runaway with me
Born to run away
