I Ran
The Sound Of Camden Feat. Mutya Buena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I′d meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran
I ran so far away
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn′t get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn′t get away
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I couldn′t get away
