Run Away
Shane McAnally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake in the morning and we're up and gone, before the dawn
Telephones, Traffic lights, Work all day, Work all night
We're too young to let life pass us by
Let's Run Away tonight

And Make Sweet love under the stars
Dancing to a heartbeat alone in the dark
Fall asleep in in each others arms and just dream
Baby Run Away with me

Remember when we use to say we'd never rush, now look at us
We're running down a dream we swore we'd never chase,
what a waste of time we could be spending together,
We should be doing something better

Like Making Sweet love under the stars
Dancing to a heartbeat alone in the dark
Fall asleep in in each others arms and just dream
Baby Run Away with me

Run Away (Run Away)
Run Away (Run Away)
Run Away (Run Away)
Run Away hey

Making Sweet love under the stars
Dancing to a heartbeat alone in the dark
Fall asleep in in each others arms and just dream
Baby Run Away with

Making Sweet love under the stars
Dancing to a heartbeat alone in the dark




Fall asleep in in each others arms and just dream
Baby Run Away with me
