Runaway Lyrics

i hear people talk i see people walk they seem so out of touch i wanna get away so much all the clockwork toys are making too much noise it's the machinery it's breaking down o' can't you see run runaway with me the picture doesn't change it's just a frozen frame i wanna break the ice i wanna go to paradise there is nowhere to hide i'll take you for a ride but not if you kiss and tell i don't mean on a carousel one day i'm to say my three wishes come true till then i pretend i'm escaping with you

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.

This song is my fav-fav-favorite ever.

My boyfriend and I have hardcore mexican sex to this song.. and I'm not even mexican. So, that pretty much makes it amazing.
