In a recent interview, Mat Kearney was asked about Runaway Car:
"Runaway Car was, was one of the first songs I started playing. We... It started in the studio and it was just me and Robert playing all the instruments, and playing the guitar, and I think I'm hitting a set of bells with a screwdriver, if you listen that's the E-Street, kind of high frequency that's happening in the song, but umm. I started writing that in the House of Blues in Los Angeles and, this, this idea of regret and wanting to change. And some people say, you know, 'I have no regrets,' and I probably, don't... I definitely have regrets and I feel like having those regrets can be the things that push you into not wanting to walk down a path that maybe hurt you, or has hurt someone, you know, in the past, so. It's kind of dealing with all of those things and this desiring to get off of this motion that's headed in the wrong way and wanting to, kind of, 'Why do I do the things I don't want to do?' It's dealing with those ideas. It's also deing with scared of falling in love, and the stupid things that you do if you're scared to fall in love."
