Runaway Lyrics

Runaway by Devlin

• A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise
• I woke and rolled over and told my girl we're leaving
• It's time to sacrifice a lot
• Cause you ain't happy with your job
• And round here it's like nothin' seems appealing
• So let me know you feel the same
• Throw your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening
• And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
• Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
• I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,
• Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
• And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
• I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.
• And if I dissappear for years and reappear
• Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?
• Or would I have lost clarity?
• In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually

• I gotta leave, I gotta go,
• There's nothing here for me no more
• I gotta be free, I gotta be
• Somewhere that I can just be me.
• And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
• Run run runaway, I runaway.

• We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station
• Purchase two tickets to an alien destination
• Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races
• But not me and my girl we're breaking free
• Like an escapist, cause we need to escape this
• And I for one have got my mind made up,
• Even if where we stay is make-shift
• I can't remain in this domain of semi ape shit, because all I see is hatred
• I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me
• Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?
• I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
• And vanish off the planet like a mystery.
• And if I did return would things be the same or worse?
• You see the gear stick shift
• and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels
• Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel

• I gotta leave, I gotta go,
• There's nothing here for me no more
• I gotta be free, I gotta be
• Somewhere that I can just be me.
• And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
• Run run runaway, I runaway.

• As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay
• 'Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid
• And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
• But now I've come of age,
• and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across my face
• The unwinding of eternal rage,
• that was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates
• If I could runaway and come back another day,
• I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.
• Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.
• If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
• I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face
• I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day
• While I roll upon the roads along the motorway

• I gotta leave, I gotta go,
• There's nothing here for me no more
• I gotta be free, I gotta be
• Somewhere that I can just be me.
• And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
• Run run runaway, I runaway.
