Run Away From It All
Chasing Freedom: Run Away from Shadows and Embrace Tomorrow
Lyrics
Standin' on a bridge, see the water keep flowin' by, by
Reflecting on a bridge, observing the continuous flow of water.
I flipped a quarter in the river, then I headed for the other side, side
Tossing a quarter into the river and moving to the other side.
I made the same wish that I always do
Expressing a recurring wish.
I'm just fool enough to think they ever come true
Acknowledging a tendency to hope for unlikely wishes to come true.
Came in like a lion, now I'm out like a lamb
Entering a situation boldly but now leaving quietly and humbly.
They don't even know who I am
Feeling unrecognized or misunderstood by others.
Miles and miles wide open for me
Having vast opportunities ahead.
Got it all laid out so beautifully
Planning a future that seems perfect.
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, we can run away from it all
Assuring someone not to worry as they can escape from their current situation.
Old ghost whistle in the wind in the dead of night, night
Referencing eerie sounds at night.
I'm walkin' through the valley of the shadow headin' for the light, light
Moving through a difficult time towards a brighter future.
I wore out my welcome like I always do
Acknowledging a pattern of overstaying one's welcome.
Got to find myself a life that's shiny new
Seeking a new beginning for oneself.
They say that the truth is gonna set us free
Believing in the liberating power of truth.
I ain't waitin' 'round to see
Not waiting for the truth to set free; taking action.
Miles and miles wide open for me
Emphasizing the vast opportunities that lie ahead.
Got it all laid out so beautifully
Detailing the well-organized and attractive future plans.
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, we can run away from it all
Reiterating the possibility of escaping from current challenges.
Squeezin' every drop outta what's left of my time
Maximizing the present moment before time runs out.
Jumpin' on tormorrow before it goes by
Seizing the opportunities of tomorrow before they pass.
No matter what they say, babe, we can run away from it all
Encouraging defiance against negative opinions and running away from difficulties.
Miles and miles wide open for me
Reiterating the vast possibilities that lie ahead.
Got it all laid out so beautifully
Affirming the beauty and clarity of the future plans.
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, we can run away from it all
Reassuring someone not to worry, as they can escape challenges.
Squeezin' every drop outta what's left of my time
Maximizing the remaining time and making the most of it.
Jumpin' on tormorrow before it goes by
Emphasizing the urgency of acting before time slips away.
No matter what they say, babe, we can run away from it all
Regardless of what others say, affirming the possibility of escaping from challenges.
