Sasha Sloan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No keys, all I got is my credit cards
And I've been here a million times
Drive fast with the Beatles in the background
Tell 'em take the 101 out of this town
I was never one to say goodbye
Every time I fall in love
Don't you think it's funny?
Don't you think it's funny?
I know I did all the shitty things to you
I said I never ever would
Baby, that's so like me
Yeah, baby, that's so like me
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
Strung out in the back of a black car
I got a little too good at breaking hearts
I wonder if I'll ever stop
Every time I fall in love
I go and fuck it up right when it gets good
Don't you think it's funny?
Don't you think it's funny?
I know I did all the shitty things to you
I said I never ever would
But baby, that's so like me
Yeah, baby, that's so like me
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
What we had was special
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
I don't know why I always run away
I don't know why I always run away
What we had was special
I know what we had was special
Strung out in the back of a black car
I've got a little too good at breaking hearts
I was never one to say goodbye
The song "Runaway" by Sasha Sloan is a melancholic yet catchy track that talks about the singer's tendency to run away from love whenever things start to get serious. The song opens with the singer being in the back of a black car, with no keys, only her credit cards. She's been in this situation too many times before.
Sloan sings about the irony of falling in love and then sabotaging the relationship just when it's getting good. She acknowledges that she has done wrong in the past and hurt her partner, yet she can't seem to help herself from running away at the first sign of commitment. She wonders why she always behaves this way, even when she knows what she had with her partner was special.
In the chorus, Sloan repeats the line "I don't know why I always run away" to emphasize her confusion and fear of intimacy. The song ends with the singer admitting that she's gotten too good at breaking hearts and that she never was one to say goodbye.
Overall, "Runaway" is an honest and vulnerable song that speaks to the fear of intimacy and the self-destructive tendencies that some people struggle with in relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Strung out in the back of a black car
I am sitting in the back of a black car feeling anxious and overwhelmed
No keys, all I got is my credit cards
I have no physical keys but I have my credit cards
And I've been here a million times
I have experienced these negative emotions many times before
Drive fast with the Beatles in the background
I am traveling quickly while listening to music by the Beatles
Tell 'em take the 101 out of this town
I want to escape this town by taking the 101 freeway
I was never one to say goodbye
I am not good at ending relationships or situations properly
Every time I fall in love
Whenever I develop romantic feelings for someone
I go and fuck it up right when it gets good
I tend to self-sabotage in relationships when things are going well
Don't you think it's funny?
Do you find it ironic or strange?
I know I did all the shitty things to you
I am aware that I mistreated you
I said I never ever would
I promised that I would never do those things
Baby, that's so like me
That behavior is typical of me
I don't know why I always run away
I do not understand why I tend to avoid responsibility and difficult situations
What we had was special
Our relationship was unique and valuable
I know what we had was special
I am aware of the worth of our relationship
I got a little too good at breaking hearts
I became skilled at ending relationships, often hurting others in the process
I wonder if I'll ever stop
I am unsure if I will be able to change this behavior
What we had was special
Our relationship was unique and valuable
I don't know why I always run away
I do not understand why I tend to avoid responsibility and difficult situations
I know what we had was special
I am aware of the worth of our relationship
I've got a little too good at breaking hearts
I became skilled at ending relationships, often hurting others in the process
I was never one to say goodbye
I am not good at ending relationships or situations properly
