Runaway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Threw my keys on the dresser Phone face down in the dark Said I’d call you when I’m better Then I watched my own words fall apart [Pre-Chorus] Your jacket on my chair like a question Coffee stain on a promise I made How did “forever” turn into “maybe”? How did we run and still stay? [Chorus] Runaway Runaway From the mess we made From the words we saved Till they cut too late Runaway Runaway From your hallway frame From the sound of my name When you say it in pain If I stay I’ll break So I runaway Runaway [Verse 2] Left my note on the counter Crooked lines Shaking ink Said “it’s not you It’s the silence” And the way it tells me what you think [Pre-Chorus] Your toothbrush by the tap like a timeline Every bristle holding what we were How did “I love you” start to feel heavy? How did your touch start to burn? [Chorus] Runaway Runaway From the mess we made From the words we saved Till they cut too late Runaway Runaway From your hallway frame From the sound of my name When you say it in pain If I stay I’ll break So I runaway Runaway [Bridge] Maybe someday we can meet At a table on some quiet street You’ll laugh and say you’re finally okay I’ll lie and say I wanted it this way (oh) [Chorus] Runaway Runaway From the life we traced On the windowpane With your last name Runaway Runaway But the farther I stray Every mile Every day I still see your face If I stay I’ll break If I go I ache So I runaway Runaway
