Runaway by Devlin
Runaway Lyrics
- 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.
