Run Away
Skyler Cocco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the sun in my eyes
Used to the scent on my pillow
Now that you stay the night
Maybe I'm all out of practice
Maybe I've been hurt before
The second I know
I don't want it anymore
It's not like me to
Lean my head into you
Run away, run away
It's not like me to
Lean in want to kiss you
Run away, run away
You've got me up to all sorts of beautiful things
I'm holding your hand and we're dancing like we're seventeen again
I'm sensing a shift in power
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
And I feel under pressure
Like I need to measure
What you're doing to me
It's not like me to
Lean my head into you
Run away, run away
It's not like me to
Lean in want to kiss you
Run away, run away
It's like my inhibitions
Never existed
When I'm with you
That's what you do
You hold me and tell me you love me
And I let you love me
And I love you
It's not like me to
Lean my head into you
Run away, run away
It's not like me to
Lean in want to kiss you
Run away, run away
(Now I won't run away)

You are the wind in my hair
You are my inspiration that just flows naturally in my life
You are the sun in my eyes
Your presence is bright and it makes everything clear
Used to the scent on my pillow
I'm used to being alone in bed and not having anyone stay overnight
Now that you stay the night
Things have changed, and I'm starting to let you in
Maybe I'm all out of practice
Maybe I'm not used to opening up to someone because I haven't in a long time
Maybe I've been hurt before
Perhaps I have been hurt in the past, and it has made me hesitant to open up again
The second I know that we're getting too close
As soon as I feel like we're getting too attached or things are becoming serious
I don't want it anymore
I start to feel like I want to push you away and end things
It's not like me to lean my head into you
It's not typical of me to be vulnerable and intimate with another person
Run away, run away
I want to escape from these intense feelings
It's not like me to lean in want to kiss you
I don't usually feel this level of attraction and desire towards someone
You've got me up to all sorts of beautiful things
You make me feel alive and adventurous, like I'm discovering new things with you
I'm holding your hand and we're dancing like we're seventeen again
We're lost in the moment and feeling young and carefree together
I'm sensing a shift in power
I feel like my emotions are starting to control me, not the other way around
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
I'm showing my emotions and making myself vulnerable to you
And I feel under pressure
I feel like there are expectations and I need to live up to them
Like I need to measure what you're doing to me
I'm trying to gauge if you're making me happy, satisfied, and fulfilled
It's like my inhibitions never existed
I feel completely comfortable and uninhibited around you
When I'm with you
Your presence makes everything feel right
That's what you do
Your love and affection make me feel wanted and appreciated
You hold me and tell me you love me
Your physical touch and verbal affection make me feel loved
And I let you love me
I'm allowing myself to be loved and to love in return
And I love you
I have fallen for you completely and deeply
(Now I won't run away)
I'm realizing that I don't want to escape my feelings for you anymore
