Matt Corby - Runaway Lyrics






She speaks like the wind,
But she howls at the moon.
She runs like the sun in the winter,
[Or "She runs like the sun in the starlight."]
She's not coming home soon.

She follows the rain,
And she loves like a daughter.
[Or "She runs like the water."]
She revels in all this pain,
But she hits like her father.

She speaks like she wants,
Words dripping with disdain.
And then you find out she loves another,
But she keeps you in awe, keeps you insane.

But she don't give a shit about you.
She will let you run away.
So, just run away, run away.

'Cause she don't give a shit about you.
She will let you run away.
So, just run away.

No, she don't give a fucking shit about you.
She will let you run away.
So, just run away.

No, she don't give a shit about you.
She will let you run away.
So, just run away.

Well, she don't give a shit about you.
Well, she will let you run away.
So, just run away.

    She speaks like the rain,
    But she howls at the moon.
    She runs like the sun in the winter,
    She's not coming home soon.
    She follows the rain,
    She runs like the water.
    She revels in all his pain,
    Cause she hits like her father.
    And when she speaks like she wants,
    Words dripping with disdain
    She tells you she loves another,
    But she keeps you in awe, keeps you insane.

  24. N.... P....

    This is Revolution. Evolution. This is...

  25. E.... O....

    i will hate you forever. for the things you did to me. you left me like i was nothing, you didn't care a little. so now i hate you and i will never forgive you. i never want to hate you but you didin't gave me anything but this. not even a goodbye... its really hard to think the girl i was willing to gave my life now the one i hate the most. so congrats you break me.

    E.... O....

    I hope you find peace eventually and be kind to yourself and others, learn from the experience and shed the pain away, stay positive and connect deeply like Matt did. ✌️

  26. h.... b....

    He's my little secret. My great escape from reality. When shit happens, I just run away

  27. T.... C....

    I'm crying... this is my favorite song by him. The music is so dreamlike.

  28. J.... R....

    Such a great song

  29. y.... b....

    mügemmelsin

  30. s.... d....

    One of the greatest voices ever... He is famous but still underrated...This Aussie is Legendary.. He is a true artist the hovers above the rest, magical.. pure and raw..

  31. K.... B....

    aziz ben salem : i can't runaway Cuz im in love with her ...

  32. I.... G....

    This song is almost spiritual! Funny that I've just been through something similar with a girl who would just let me runaway. Took me a while to realise it. But, I ran away. And found this song.

    I.... G....

    maybe she knew the feeling and didn't want you to feel same?

  33. M.... M....

    So dangerous

  34. M.... M....

    Matt, ='D
    ...
    I mean even your fans are awesome!

  35. S.... T....

    Oh Matt, you are pure magnificence... There do not exist adequate words in any human language to describe and appreciate your transcendent talent enough...

  36. J.... M....

    Does anyone know what kind of effects pedal is used on that first guitar part? I'm guessing some sort of Sustain/Reverb combo?

    J.... M....

    Probably a Modulated or Shimmer type Reverb - Tape or Analog Delay - Maybe even a POG pedal or some kind of octive pedal and a volume pedal to fade in the sound after you strum

    J.... M....

    Hey man - the bulk of the tone sounds like the Strymon Timeline to me. Probably bits and pieces of other processing going on, but the Timeline can give you the sound you're looking for.

    J.... M....

    Thanks for telling me that man. I actually recently purchased an Electro Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb pedal (saw on a website that Matt has it on his board), and realised I can get pretty much the exact sound by turning the reverb time knob up crazy high so that the sound has a really long decay time, messed around with the tone settings a bit and then just using a volume pedal to fade it in.

  37. N.... ....

    so amazing ♥

  38. S.... M....

    So amazing. Without doubt, one of the best performing artists out there.

  39. C.... N....

    Damn this some powerful stuff..

  40. C.... G....

    You're not telluric. Wonderful voice, every time I listen to his songs, I feel at peace but at the same time I have a fire,the fire of eternal love.

    C.... G....

    +Catinka G beautiful way to describe his music

    C.... G....

    Thank you, he deserves it!

    C.... G....

    Grigore Elena finally somebody put into words what his music makes me feel

  41. G.... m....

  42. S.... H....

    holy moly

  43. m.... s....

This song is on repeat for me. Wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your gift. God bless u and I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you. Thanks again from Maui, Hawaii.

  44. E.... V....

    I enjoy your music so much ! even if I can't relate to this song because I am just a 16 years old girl but somehow it touches me! and I think it's sad that not many people of my generation listen to this!

    Greetings from germany :-)

    E.... V....

    I'm 16 as well, even if we cant quite relate we always will, a little. you know? His music is very spiritual and touches peoples lives and hearts. honestly, he is my favorite artist. something tells me we aren't the only ones in our generation to love his passion.

    E.... V....

    Thanks to your comment my hope for this generation is restored! It is really cool to see that I wasn't the only one, even if I was sure before that that I can't be the only one in this generation who loves him! I mean, come on, just listen to his voice and you will immediately fall in love :D

    E.... V....

    Very true... I can't stop listening.

    He NEEDs coverage from other countries. I don't know if doesn't want to become internationally known or 'big' but ...he needs to be heard more. And celebrated more for his musical genius and heartfelt, genuinely beautiful contribution to the world of music....plus his voice, better than anything I've heard from the guys on 'The Voice' in the last few years tbh.

    L.... ....

    +LPFanGina I'm on the other side of the world, and I must say I agree. But he has fans everywhere, I'm trying my best to share his works when I could.
