Run Away (The Escape Song) Lyrics

Run away
Run away from here
Run away
Run away from here
Run away all alone
Run away from fear
Run away from sadness
Run away from tears
Run away from home
From the wife and kids
From the cats and the doggies
Run away to forgive
Run into the light
Run away from here

Hide away
In the lion's den
Play with matches
And get burned
Flyin' high
In an airplane
Run away, run away, run away
In a fast car
On a highway
Burnin' tracks
Towards the sunset
No turning back
And no regrets
I'll think of you
If I don't forget

Run away from the church
Run away from guilt
Run away from your dreams
Everything you built
Run into the light

Hide away
In the lion's den
Play with matches
And get burned
Flyin' high
In an airplane
Run away, run away, run away
In a fast car
On a highway
Burnin' tracks
Towards the sunset
No turning back
And no regrets
I'll think of you

Run away from the office, from your old work shoes
Run away from crime, and the big city blues
Run away from money, and the jaws of death
Run away from lawyers, and the government
Run away from your friends, and your family too
Run away from yourself, run away from you
Run away from here
