Never Run Away Lyrics

You had it all my day, you had it all
You had it all my day
Each morning we marry,
It's just the most gorgeous of days
I know you'll never run away!
You met a young man who was a wild child
who harmonizes keys in his droning mind
Saxophone sings from inside his head cryin'

I know you'll never run away

I'm living all the time, thanks cause your mine
You turn my dying days away
Each day we carry on like believers and lovers
Though there are others who would rather run away

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey man
If you wanna hear a secret ...
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey man
Pay pay pay close attention

I know you'll never run away

Holding you all night through to the dawn
You turn my dying days away
My steady guide on how to love
Then taking dope to cope, had to come down sometime

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey man
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey man
Pay pay pay close attention

I know you'll never run away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about music. Or less specifically, good vibes, good bud, and the ability to listen to good music and to be made to feel good because of it. This is something that can always be relied upon in a world where you can't even trust the ground you walk on to not slip out from under you. But music, this queen of the heart and soul will never run out on you or screw you over. Music is never dishonest, people might be dishonest, musicians and artists might be dishonest, music producers are definitely dishonest, but music is always true.

also the lyric my steady guide on how to love is actually "my steady diet of 'high on love'".

Honestly it sounds like it's clearly dedicate to his wife, who we all know he adores, but I really like your music interpretation. It could actually be both, songs ain't gotta have only one meaning.
