The Runaways Lyrics
Come closer now
I know your desire is to be desired
Steal a kiss and, and call us friends
Distance is a thief in which you conspire
Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
It's clearer now
You're nowhere into giving
Giving into, giving into me
It's your fault
You're like a rare disease
I know you're in love
With love I believe
Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
Do you expect me to wait here?
(All alone in my thoughts and fears)
My whole life could flash before your eyes
(Hope one day that you realize)
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(This is your life, girl, now without me)
May regrets for us well up inside
(As feelings for you are buried alive)
Buried alive
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
I only stayed to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I walk away,
Runaway girl
I only stayed to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I run away,
Runaway girl
I know your desire is to be desired
Steal a kiss and, and call us friends
Distance is a thief in which you conspire
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
You're nowhere into giving
Giving into, giving into me
It's your fault
You're like a rare disease
I know you're in love
With love I believe
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
(All alone in my thoughts and fears)
My whole life could flash before your eyes
(Hope one day that you realize)
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(This is your life, girl, now without me)
May regrets for us well up inside
(As feelings for you are buried alive)
Buried alive
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl
You can tell it by the way I walk away,
Runaway girl
I only stayed to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I run away,
Runaway girl

i think it's about a girl who leads a guy on (hence "steal a kiss") and the guy has feelings for her but the girl is more so just playing around with his emotions. she might have feelings for him but i think she is afraid of getting into a serious relationship (the "you're in love with love i believe" makes it seem like she likes the idea of it, but can't actually commit to a relationship) the whole "do you expect me to wait here?" part is kind of like the guy is hoping she'll smarten up and come around and actually commit but he knows it won't happen because his "whole life could crash before your eyes" in any case, the girl keeps just "running away" and leading him on and he knows she's only going to break his heart also, "it's clearer now, you're nowhere into giving, giving into me" is conducive to that too, he's realizing that they're never going to be in a relationship. and then at the end where he says "you can tell it by the way i run away" its kind of like he's basically saying he's done with her head games and she lost her chance with him.
you hit the nail on the head man. im only 15 but i know a girl just like this. everyone does and its just so depressing and listening to this song makes us feel stronger and not alone

Its "You only stayed to break my heart". Its stayed not stand. How does stand make sense? Plus if you listen it doesnt sound like stand it sounds like stayed.
Actually stand does make sense. It's not referring to the standing as with your feet. Since I'm terrible at explaining things I'll just copy and paste another definition of 'stand'.

To put up with patiently or resolutely; bear. eg. Can't stand the heat.

"Still a kiss and call his friends " im pretty sure its "steal a kiss"
cant wait for their new album
"My whole life could flash before your eyes" (not "my life could burst before your eyes")
and I think its this is your life girl now without me not this is who i crown now without me
I think it's about a girl that he wants to be with, but she only sees him as a friend. And he's saying that he can't wait for her to come around, because he's gonna break.

i think its about a girl who says their just friends but loves the game of love... (in love with love) and acts like their more than friends when they're together, but there is some distance between them (miles) and because she doesn't communicate when they are apart, he knows she will break his heart.
wow.....sounds like someone I know....steal a kiss yet call us friends.....wow.....I love this song.....yeah it sounds like someone who likes playing games with someone and their heart.....they fool with love and play with it like it's some kind of toy.....I love Anberlin.....
