Runaway
mr. käfer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black light, old heart is breaking slowly feet pacing the floor,
My hands are ready
You say you do, you got me with a fever wanting more,
To light from heavy,
When you're hand's tied, by the waist side, gonna waste your days away,
Do you wanna wait, and all you can see is me.

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!

That change and time, I should read signs, let day take night away,
Follow the river,
The aircraft, seas, star-war and trees, lie where the air is clean,
To reconsider,
When you're hand's tied, by the waist side, gonna waste your days away,
Do you wanna wait, and all you can see is me.

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!

When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!




When you run away you can go anywhere!
When you run away you can go anywhere!
