running away
Way Out West feat. Eli & Fur Lyrics

The song "Running Away" by Way Out West feat. Eli & Fur portrays a complex relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The lyrics depict a sense of loneliness and longing, as the singer yearns to bring back the intimacy they once shared with their partner. The opening lines "take you to the bedroom where we used to lay, rest your weary head, babe, I want you to stay" suggests that the singer wants to rekindle the lost romance and affection. They are willing to put the past behind and try to make it work again.

However, the lyrics also reveal a sense of frustration and exhaustion. The lines "we spend all our time just pretending we're okay, dying on the inside while we run away" indicate that the relationship has become a farce, and both the partners are struggling to maintain a facade of normalcy. The chorus "running away, running away" suggests that the couple is trying to escape the issues in their relationship but is failing to do so.

The lines "can't you see what you do to me? Hit you up, but it's never like it used to be, we run away like we're scared of ever being we, as if you're better off alone, you just press delete" directly confront the partner, questioning their actions and their unwillingness to work things out. The lyrics also convey a sense of nostalgia, as the singer reminisces about the past, the old times, and the life they used to lead before things took a turn for the worse. By the end, the singer acknowledges that they cannot love without their partner and does not want to go back to living without them.
