Carey, Mariah - Runway Lyrics






Runway, runway, runway

They'll come a day when we won't have to fight
Won't be around, who is wrong who is right
Like fireflies, and I might even lie
Just you and I, universally tied
There's truth for those who want to hear
Somewhere out in the atmosphere
To survive gotta persevere
Close to fly gotta have no fear

First they love you and then they judge you and
Try to chain you, and they drain you
You can push through it, stay the same you and
Never let them bring you down (we do)
Remember there's only one you (oh)
There's a God up above you (you)
You can soar through the herd when it taunts you
Fly like a hummingbird if you want to
Let love be our own way
There is a higher place
Just erase that feeling when you're rising
And you're face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go, and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
When the race is in the horizon

Runway, yeah yeah
Runway, yeah
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
When you make it, now love make your runway

You have inside
And you will discover there is flawless through your terrify
And I promise there is truth for those who really want to hear
If you wanna touch the sky and fly, you've got to have no fear

First they love you and then they judge you and
Try to chain you, and they drain you
You can push through it, stay the same you and
Never let them bring you down (we do)
Remember there's only one you (oh)
There's a God up above you (true)
You can soar through the herd when it taunts you
Fly like a hummingbird if you want to
Let love be our own way
There is a higher place
Just erase that feeling when you're rising
And you're face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go, and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
When the race is in the horizon

Runway, yeah yeah
Runway, yeah
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
When you make it, now love make your runway

Runway, runway
Now love make your runway
Runway, runway
Now love make your runway
Runway, runway
Now ove make your runway
Runway, runway
Now love make your runway

There is a higher place
Just erase that feeling when you're rising
And you're face is kissing the horizon
And if they count you out
Let go, and watch you drown
Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
When the race is in the horizon

    Ok Mariah....

  26. b.... ....

    This song just come to me at the right time when I’m going through bad time it’s like angel 👼 was talking to me this early morning just when I was going to give up this song pops up omg just thank you 🙏

  27. C.... M....

    There's this one gospel-inspired track in each Mimi album and I was looking for one in Caution then here we have Runway. Should've been part of the standard tracklist.

  28. T.... H....

    "The way it feels to fly!"

  29. D.... J....

    "Just shake off those demons that you're fighting"...only Mariah makes music that speaks to our souls. :-(

  30. D.... H....

    Sounds like a partial remix of "Had Your Chance" from charmbracelet

  31. P.... B....

    What a great and truthful song

  32. K.... ....

    LOVE this!! Should be a single and we neeeeed a MV please MC 🦋🦋🦋

  33. L.... Y....

    I didn’t really like the album that much... loved this one

    L.... Y....

    .........

  34. C.... T....

    Win the race keep kissing the horizon

  35. C.... T....

    Amazing

  36. J.... W....

    fav single from caution

  37. C.... T....

    One of my faves

  38. z.... Z....

    “Float like a hummingbird if you want to”
    *Mocks the sound of a hummingbird*

    So iconic and legendary.😩💘

    z.... Z....

    zlMrDIRTYxRPGlz ZVXV never noticed. my queen 😭💕

  39. M.... ....

    I can't believe how stupid she and her team are. I'm sorry but this could've been a huge anthem, on the level of Hero. It sounds like it could've been used for a Nike commercial, given the inspiring and motivational theme of the song. So much potential hits lost such as "Slipping Away", "Do You Think of Me", "Migrate". Sad!

    M.... ....

    Mariah is not stupid. She is not the one who decides what singles to release. She can have input, but it ultimately is the labels decision on what cuts to release to the general public.

  40. J.... V....

    Yassss ♥️🌹🥰

  41. Y.... N....

    Why...am I just now hearing this...this is amazing. The vocals, the production, THE LYRICS, the fact that she sampled HERSELF?? Queeeeen omg

  42. J.... P....

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this! Been looking into this song of Mimi. I really appreciate it. You just made my day. Labyuuu, dahhhhhlin'.

  43. C.... c....

    Wow such an amazing song to bad she didn't release it in the u.s. could've been a number one single or at least a top ten man... Great song

  44. M.... C....

    She put it on Japan’s edition because she knows her fans outside the US appreciate her much better

  45. S.... S....

    RunWay 💜

  46. C.... D....

    Why isn’t this charting?

    C.... D....

    Its only available in Japan.

  47. D.... L....

    Should have been single, best song of the album IMO

  48. L.... W....

    Mariah should be making money off this song!!!$MH your missing out on your own hit Mariah###Release this track as a single....

  49. C.... ....

    THIS SONG IS AMAZING

  50. M.... W....

    No super ultra platinum deluxe version of Caution? Just like TEOM? We need new tracks for Caution. 🙏🏻

  51. c.... j....

    Fun fact she produced this herself. She the only name listed under the producer credits.

    c.... j....

    Skrillex did. But I’m sure she helped as she usually does.

  52. S.... ....

    I think this song could have been new #1

  53. M.... C....

    😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  54. s.... ....

    It's not a surprise that the Caution album for Japan includes bonus tracks. My other friend who is also a lamb ordered the E=MC² Japan cd and it had bonus tracks "Heat" and "4real 4real" and they are soo good! Thanks for uploading this!

  55. P.... H....

    I love this song it grew on me 💗🥴

  56. J.... R....

    why isn't this on the official album makes me sad it's a great song with a great message

  57. M.... ....

    The best song on caution

  58. M.... C....

    Is there a way I can purchase this song ?

    M.... C....

    Michael Consuegra - move to japan 🇯🇵 😂

  59. L.... M....

    I think 8th Grade, Runway and The Distance should have been the singles from Caution.

    L.... M....

    💯💯💯

  60. S.... H....

    the lyric's very wrong lmao

  61. D.... S....

    Very very talented woman... speechless

  62. R.... M....

    Omgggf thank you

  63. C.... A....

    Did you catch that mini belt at 3:01?? I swear every time I hear a song of hers I discober new vocals

  64. C.... T....

    THIS IS AMAZING!

  65. J.... O....

    These lyrics are everything

  66. T.... F....

    The Kohh version is better. This one takes all the energy away that he injected.

  67. t.... ....

    The first time she sings "You can soar above the hurt when it taunts you. Float like a hummingbird if you want to.
    Let love be your runway, there is a higher place" is amazingly touching and inspirational.

  68. J.... A....

    Wow, AMAZING song👌

  69. c.... c....

    [Intro]
    The way it feels to fly
    The way it feels to fly
    Runway, runway, runway

    [Verse 1]
    They'll come a day when we won’t have to fight
    Won't be about who is wrong, who is right
    Like fireflies, emanating the light
    Just you and I, universally tied
    There's truth for those if they want to hear
    Somewhere out in the atmosphere
    To survive gotta persevere
    Cause to fly, gotta have no fear

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    First they love you, like oh it’s just you and
    Then they bait you and try to change you
    You can push through it, stay the same you and
    Never let them bring you down (We do)
    Remember there's only one you (Oh)
    There's a God up above you (You)
    You can soar above the hurt when it taunts you
    Float like a hummingbird if you want to

    [Chorus]
    Let love be your runway, there is a higher place
    Just embrace that feeling when you're rising
    And your face is kissing the horizon
    And if they count you out
    Let go and watch you drown
    Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
    Win the race, keep kissing the horizon
    Runway, yeah yeah
    Runway, yeah yeah yeah
    Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
    Win the race, let love be your runway

    [Verse 2]
    There's a better color that reflects the love you have inside
    And you will discover there is solace though you're terrified
    And I promise there is truth for those who really want to hear
    If you wanna touch the sky and fly, you’ve got to have no fear

    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    First they love you, and then they judge you and
    Try and chain you, and then they drain you
    You can push through it, stay the same you and
    Never let them bring you down (We do)
    Remember there’s only one you (Ooh)
    There's a God up above you (True)
    You can soar above the hurt when it taunts you
    Float like a hummingbird if you want to

    [Chorus]
    Let love be your runway, there is a higher place
    Just embrace that feeling when you’re rising
    And your face is kissing the horizon
    And if they count you out
    Let go and watch you drown
    Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
    Win the race, keep kissing the horizon
    Runway, yeah yeah
    Runway, yeah yeah yeah
    Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
    Win the race, let love be your runway

    [Bridge]
    Runway, runway
    Let love be your runway
    Runway, runway
    Let love be your runway
    Runway, runway
    Let love be your runway
    Runway, runway
    Let love be your runway

    [Chorus]
    Let love be your runway, there is a higher place
    Just embrace that feeling when you're rising
    And your face is kissing the horizon
    And if they count you out
    Let go and watch you drown
    Just shake off those demons that you’re fighting
    Win the race, keep kissing the horizon
    Runway
    Runway
    Just shake off those demons that you're fighting
    Win the race, let love be your runway

    [Outro]
    The way it feels to fly

  70. O.... M....

    Loving all the basic intel from “new lambs”🙄we know! But there’s one amazing fact we can all agree on - MARIAH RULES 👑🦋

  71. K.... D....

    Why only Japan Mariah????

    K.... D....

    They’re the best fans

  72. b.... ....

    is not a bad song, but the butterfly sample through out the entire song is a bad idea, is like she just lay in the sample last minute to rush it out.

    b.... ....

    You’re wrong. There’s obviously a thematic link between the lyrics and what butterfly represents to her. Which is why she used the sample. It’s not a rushed thing at all, simpleton.

  73. P.... C....

    Yesssssss

  74. B.... T....

    The lyrics are wrong... Ijs.. If you post a lyric vide you need to triple check the lyrics.

  75. C.... S....

    My favorite song off the entire album

  76. R.... p....

    Thank you Jesus ...

  77. C.... B....

    This song is giving me life! Thanks for posting. ☺

  78. M.... ....

    Lambs who didn't buy Mariah's modern masterpiece CAUTION still can - DO IT TODÀY!!!

  79. F.... B....

    This was a missed opportunity ! 🤔 Who the hell is in charge over there at the record company ? This should have been the 1st single it should have been on the American version of caution ! Hello

  80. A.... S....

    Thank you for posting this song!!!! i have been looking everywhere for it :)

  81. N.... J....

    I love this . Such an Inspirational Song ❤️🚦🧡

  85. A.... ....

    Incredible track

  86. J.... A....

    *cost or cause to fly

  87. N.... ....

    This is not produced well. The background is clashing with the foreground. Vocals all over the place. Her newer music is all the same.

    N.... ....

    It's pretty fantastic to me

  88. L.... W....

    Thanx For Posting This Track!!!!! @!! Luv..

  94. M.... S....

    She'll have those whistles on point to infinityyyyyyyyyyy

  95. J.... J....

    A little credit should be given to Skrillex for producing the song, also Mariah Carey is still the queen.

    J.... J....

    Yep, because of his love for the Butterfly album and how his mom and him use to listen to it.

  96. J.... A....

    Love this track from her. So spirited and from the heart and chops

  97. y.... ....

    Ugh! Why didn’t she put this on the album? Geez! So pissed!

    T.... T....

    @stacy peterson So do I.
    Although I'm not a fan of the Japanese.
