Kearney, Mat - Runaway Lyrics






Tonight you're letting go, under the burning glow
We're too young to hold this load on our own
Autumn came and went, riding them violent winds
Blowing through the trees, you could feel it on your skin

Walking the lost streets, no one ever shares
Cry yourself to sleep, waiting on a little prayer
Bags are by the door, hearts are on the floor
There's a bottle full of tears on the dresser drawer

Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
Nobody knows the price of this dream
And nobody knows what it took to believe
Nobody

She wants to be free, like a runaway, ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way, ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we're running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay

The road below our wheels, all that we fought to heal
You close your eyes and cry, dying for the right to feel
I hear it coming down, oh the sweetest sound
Of forgotten tears falling on the solid ground

Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
Nobody knows the price of this dream
And nobody knows what it took to believe
Nobody

She wants to be free, like a runaway ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we're running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

We're singing "How did we get this far riding on a shooting star? "
It's like flying on the wings of God

She wants to be free
Like a runaway ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we're running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay

    Personally, this song reminds me of my struggles as a teenager and an adult and reflects my desire for freedom. I dealt with a lot of frustration as a young man. I was put in a group home at eighteen, and was abused by the residents there. A lot of tears were shed during those two years. I finally couldn't handle it anymore and I ended up getting kicked out. I moved with a friend in Yucaipa, and I love the freedom that I have. Very few people, though, know what I went through to get here. It wasn't easy, but I made it. I am working on my GED, and my goal is to get it by June of this year. I decided I want to spend my career working as a mentor for at-risk youth. I know this generation of teenagers deal with a lot of struggles, like I did as a young man, and I want to support them as much as I can, for I know what a bad childhood feels like. I lived through mine and it was not easy! Anyway . . . awesome song!

    D.... M....

    Daniel McCluskey - Yes! Congrats on being a youth advocate. Proud of you. I love how young souls can be wise & strong. Keep being a warrior 😄👍

    D.... M....

    This is such a cool story, thanks for sharing! That's awesome that you've grown from struggles as a teenager to wanting to help others. I always love this song because it's encouraging too:)

    D.... M....

    So inspiring. All the best, mate! Stay strong!

    D.... M....

    Daniel McCluskey Do it! The Lord wants to use you like a beacon of light that stands out on top of a hill. Shine your light in the darkness that will help lead the youth to a perfect and Loving Heavenly Father that will never leave them or forsake them. What ever the Enemy has meant for your harm, the Lord will turn it around for your good. He gives beauty for ashes and He makes all things new. Let Him do a work in you AND through you that will inspire the youth to become all that the Lord has called them to be. Hope and Love is the breath of life that brings forth the possibilities of new beginning which comes from Lord. With God all things are possible. God bless you.

    i luv this song every time i listen to this song i always feel the ocean breeze in my face i think surfers surfing in the water and of corse soul surfer

  90. 6.... ....

    This song just makes me feel alive. And, with everything that I've gone through this past year, with breast cancer and its treatment, it's like a gift from God. Mat Kearney...you are spectacular. Your music is the light in my day.

  91. F.... ....

    I heard this song in Soul Surfer and I took the time to track it down spending six minutes of my life doing so. Totally worth it.

  92. F.... ....

    Lol, dude

  93. S.... B....

    1 dislike. What gives?

  94. J.... ....

    It makes me laugh when people act like they're better bc they knew this song/ Mat before Soul Surfer. Shouldn't you be glad that the movie used his song and brought fans here? Just saying. <3 this song btw!

  95. D.... ....

    oh no she didnt

  96. s.... ....

    err this song give me that feeling after i take off the head phones i feel like the world is so boring

  97. J.... M....

    The person who disliked it must have done one of these three things: 1. doesn't understand the amazingness of the song 2. turned the computer upside down to like it again 3. clicked it on accident

    because this song is amazing! its really nice and it makes me feel really happy.

  98. c.... ....

    coldplay start? (scratches head)
