Runaway

This song somehow ended up on my running playlist. I had never really listened to it before until tonight during my after work run. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are up there on my list of favourite bands. In fact they're coming to London in a few months to play - but of course the tickets are all sold out.

The song starts simply enough, and then the voice starts, slightly plaintive and melodic. It's slow and melancholy, the lyrics are simple enough, but something about it just fit into my current mood. I could have run to this song for awhile.

Anyway, I'm off to work on my job applications now.


I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Hold on tight.
All along, not that strong without these open arms.
Lie beside.
All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Ride beside.

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize
