Runaway Song Lyrics - AURORA

                           Runaway Song Lyrics

Song Info: The Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora's debut extended play (EP), Running with the Wolves (2015), and debut album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, both contain the song "Runaway" (2016). It served as the lead single for both projects and was made available on February 16 by Decca and Glassnote Records. Magnus Skylstad and Odd Martin Sklnes produced the song after writing it with Aurora. With influences from Nordic-folk music, "Runaway" has a downtempo folktronica, synth-pop, electronic, and electropop sound. The singer's grief over being separated from her family served as the inspiration for the song's lyrics, which express escaping reality and realizing the necessity of going home.

      "Runaway Lyrics"

(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

I was listenin' to the ocean

I saw a face in the sand

But when I picked it up

Then it vanished away from my hands, dah

I had a dream I was seven

Climbin' my way in a tree

I saw a piece of heaven

Waitin' in patience, for me, dah

And I was running far away

Would I run off the world someday?

Nobody knows, nobody knows

And I was dancing in the rain

I felt alive and I can't complain

But no, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I can't take it anymore

I was painting a picture

The picture was a painting of you

And for a moment I thought you were here

But then again, it wasn't true, dah

And all this time I have been lyin'

Oh, lyin' in secret to myself

I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf

La-di-da!

And I was running far away

Would I run off the world someday?

Nobody knows, nobody knows

And I was dancing in the rain

I felt alive and I can't complain

But no, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go

No, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go

No, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I can't take it anymore

But I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall

And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall

And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall

And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall

And I was runnin' far away

Would I run off the world someday?

But no, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go

No, take me home

Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go

No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no

No, take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh, oh

No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no

No, take me home, home where I belong

I can't take it anymore
