Girl, I want to be good to you
I never want to do you no harm
I'm caught up in those fascination
Coping with your alarms
Ignore life if you want to, babe
Do what you've got to do
I need some time in the countryside
I want to feel so brand new
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, angel
You make me run away
Runaway
I see your name on the walls again
I painted you on my toes
Celebrate to resuscitate
We'll drink to ourselves
You'd collect lovers like gemstones
You talk of them as your friends
Dangle me from your wristchain
Another one lost to the wills of change
You make me run away
You make me run away
You make me run away, baby
You make me run away
Runaway
Still, I try to be good to you
You'll always be my friend
I've spent some time to define my mind
I want to be someone new
Why don't we run away?
Why don't we run away
Yeah, we can run away, angel
Yeah, we could run away
Why don't we run away?
You make me run away, baby
I want to run away
I want to run away
I never want to do you no harm
I'm caught up in those fascination
Coping with your alarms
Ignore life if you want to, babe
Do what you've got to do
I need some time in the countryside
I want to feel so brand new
You make me run away
You make me run away, angel
You make me run away
Runaway
I painted you on my toes
Celebrate to resuscitate
We'll drink to ourselves
You'd collect lovers like gemstones
You talk of them as your friends
Dangle me from your wristchain
Another one lost to the wills of change
You make me run away
You make me run away, baby
You make me run away
Runaway
You'll always be my friend
I've spent some time to define my mind
I want to be someone new
Why don't we run away
Yeah, we can run away, angel
Yeah, we could run away
You make me run away, baby
I want to run away
I want to run away

I think this song is about a guy who's in love with a girl who doesn't want a real relationship. She prefers having various lovers. The guy knows that she doesn't want a relationship and therefore is going to break his heart, and he knows that the right thing to do would be to run away and forget her before he falls even more in love with her, but he's already too much in love with her and is therefore not able to just forget her. Even though she hurts him emotionally, he tries to be good to her because he's in love with her and maybe even hopes that she'll fall in love with him.
The song shows how he falls more and more in love with her and how he's bound to her. At the beginning, he wants to run away alone and forget her. At the end he kind of wants the opposite: He wants to run away with her, therefore he wants and kind of believes in a relationship with her and he wants her to leave all her other lovers behind.
