Runaways Lyrics by Hunter Nelson

2023

[Verse One]
Shot in the dark
Can we leave this little town
Where do we start?
Lay it all down

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's so late right now
I don't wanna get lost in the weight of all the things we never did
I know it's unknowable

[Chorus]
(Oh if) all else fails we'll be runaways
And chase the sky to a foreign place, yeah
Leave it all behind and don't ever look back
Ooooh, with you

And everything feels so out of place
So take the past, we could throw it to the sky
Leave it all behind and don't ever look back
Ooooh, with you

[Verse Two]
All of the shadows
Of the bodies that we'll never know
In the pursuit of living the dream
Feeding the corporate neon machine

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's so late right now
I don't wanna get lost in the weight of all the things we never did
I know it's unknowable

[Chorus]
(Oh if) all else fails we'll be runaways
And chase the sky to a foreign place, yeah
Leave it all behind and don't ever look back
Ooooh, with you

And everything feels so out of place
So take the past, we could throw it to the sky
Leave it all behind and don't ever look back
Ooooh, with you

Ooooh, with you
Ooooh, with you
