He wanted to depart from the masses of ‘pop-punk’ bands thriving for success, and focus on creating an interesting and unique style of music, blending the classic styles of country and folk with a tinge of reggae and modern rock. After releasing his first song ‘We Grow Up Too Fast’, the vibrant tune generated thousands of plays on Youtube, providing ‘The Runaway State’ with a small but remarkably dedicated fanbase, and as George is writing for his debut release in the summer, 2011 seems to hold great things for him, the sky is the limit.

"Poignant lyrics, beautiful song, wonderfully performed with such clarity, skill and exquisite simplicity." - DerekWilliamsMusic.net

Let You Go
The Runaway State Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby stay in bed for a weekend
Undercover just forgetting were the sheets end
You can come a little closer if your feet get cold
Oh oh
Can′t you see
It used to be so easy
Can't you see
That now an hour gonna kills me

Yeah it was great
But baby that was months ago
And now i know
Oh oh
I never ever should have let you go
Oh oh
Girl why can′t you leave me on my own
Oh oh
Cause now you got me wish you never never let you go

Oo baby i'v been wishing on a shooting star
That you have come to realize how beatiful you are
