Runaway
Tayla Parx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're in the same boat 'cause we both had a bad day
I know it's hard but it's gonna be okay
You ain't the only one out here feeling lonely
You ain't alone
You should know that you've got me
And I don't care what other people say
They were gonna talk anyway
So much drama in our face
A couple ways we can escape

I have a cabin in California
But the utilities are a couple months due
You have a house in Syracuse
Let's plan a road trip, me and you

My family doesn't like you anymore
'Cause they know about our history
Let's run away and leave our town behind us
Let's run away, just you and me
Just wanna run away
Just wanna run away

You tell me
What's a storm without a little bit of lightning?
What is love without a little bit of fighting?
Can't believe that we're both unafraid to risk
Wait a minute
Are you really down for this?

'Cause I'll be speeding if you tell me go
Tire screeching if you tell me no
Let's make freedom our favorite place
I'll fill the car up just in case

I have a cabin in California
But the utilities are a couple months due
You have a house in Syracuse
Let's plan a road trip me and you

My family doesn't like you anymore
'Cause they know about our history
Let's run away and leave our town behind us
Let's run away just you and me
Just wanna run away
Just wanna run away





Baby, we should run away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tayla Parx's song "Runaway" describe the idea of running away from problems and escaping from their current situation with someone they care for. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that both of them are going through a tough time, but it's going to be okay. As she assures her partner that they're not alone, she suggests different ways they can escape from the drama surrounding them, basically eloping to create a new life. The first verse reflects the idea of leaving their problems behind and driving to a cabin in California that has a couple of months' overdue utility bills or to Syracuse, where they can go away and start anew. The second verse reflects that indeed there are problems that need to be left behind, as the singer explains that their respective families are not happy because of their shared past; by running away, they could start fresh with each other and leave all their baggage behind.


The chorus of "Runaway" emphasizes a desire for escape, as the singer repeats the words "just wanna run away" twice. The bridge talks about the ups and downs of a relationship, including the idea that fights are a part of love and that "a storm" is nothing without "a little bit of lightning." The bridge also suggests that the idea of running away is not ideal unless both individuals are entirely committed and willing to take the risk.


Overall, "Runaway" is a song about leaving behind the problems and hardships of the past and starting new with someone you care about. The song's idea is about taking control of your life by ignoring other people's opinions and running toward freedom, whether it means traveling to a cabin in California or leaving behind all their problems.

Tayla, you're PERFECT as AJ's voice actor. He's a phenomenal character, and I had zero idea that was you until literally yesterday. I'm sad about TWD game getting discontinued (I hope it isn't, but it likely will be), but that doesn't change the fact that you did a damn great job as AJ! As if I didn't already have enough reason to be a fan!

Saul Dominguez
