Stauber, Jack - Runaway Lyrics
You keep your distance that's for sure
You led me to believe you're an open door
But when I reached for your handle I learned otherwise
You handed fiction out in paperback
Eight hundred pages
When I'm nice you're disinterested
When I'm an asshole you're offended
You're a lure with no prize
A chase with no catch
You're perfect
Runaway
Though I'm never gonna lock you down
You're always gonna be around
If I follow slow
You're to blame
Runaway
There's a problem with your temperature
I did my best
I tried my best
To warm you down
But you froze my thermometer
Your time is a magical thing
Like this curse that you put on me
If you aren't willing to give me yours
Why should I waste mine
When I'm nice you're disinterested
When I'm an asshole you're offended
You're a lure with no prize
A chase with no catch
You're perfect
Runaway
Though I'm never gonna lock you down
You're always gonna be around
If I follow slow
You'll wait up for me
You're to blame
Runaway
If my mind could turn back time
I'd find myself and warn him that
You're perfect
Runaway
Girl some day
I'll find a way
To break away
From your luring eyes
You're to blame
Runaway

Stauber, Jack Runaway Comments
Amo esta canción ❤🎶
Ahora es mi canción favorita 🎶✨💕😍
Does this remind anyone else of his other song: "I understand"?
This is such an amazing song wow!
Man me recuerda a la musica de matilda no se porque :0
Wow, this sounds like my ex before she tore out my heart and left me for dead
The beginning sounds like money talks by acdc
All of jack's songs are great, but this one resonates deep
DO NOT CUSS >:(
/s
Just found my new favorite Jack Stauber song
This is one of those songs you understand a lot better when you're going through it
This should be a Disney song!
The ultimate ''nice guy'' song
they should use this song for stranger things
Every song in this album carrys a form of sadness
In a happy way
@Brandonez Doofenshmirtz yep
Weirdly reminds me of Rusted Root.
I love this song so much but I can't figure out what he says *right before* the chorus about when he's nice they're disinterested. I think I hear something like "And that is the--" but I'm lost from there. Any ideas?
"and I read every last word"
@HDSoil OH COOL thank you so much--omg is it the same line for 2:39 too? I really appreciate it btw
Teelia I don’t think so. I’ll figure it out later
@HDSoil Alright thank you!!! I'm still trying to figure it out myself but have had nothing yet, hahaha
I love the 80s vibe 😍
yes jack stauber is whole like that
this song makes me want to hike a slightly chilly mountain just to smell the air
OH MY GOD hE SOUND SO YOUNG I LOVE HIM AAAAAAAaaAaAAAaaaaAaAaaAaaaaaaaaaaAA <3 <3 <3
Reminds me of the ballroom scene from laybrinth.
this album is very underrated, it breaks my heart
I’m the funny guy in my friend group, so I usually push my problems away to joke around and make my friends cut up, but that’s the only reason they are my friends. Because I’m funny enough for them. And this song, lets me forget that kind of stuff, that irrational paranoia. It helps me feel better. Just want that to be out there, to those of you who experience it too, or to Jack himself, for creating this, to let them know I’m here.
How am I just finding this song
Why is everyone sleeping on this?!
This song is for the broken hearted
I'm telling Jack Stauber said a bad word
This song gives me a good feeling
This song has always been a huge ass mood, and I don’t why
finite form is very underrated
an underrated album from an underrated artist
The songs from this album are so different than usual, I love them
One of my favorites <3

As much as I love Jack's newer artistic style of music, I wish he still made music like this. This reminds me of David Bowie and Vampire Weekend
Your still alive? Pass out and die
Have you heard Candy Eyes from Pop Food?
god i would kill for him to make a remaster of smooth
Samuel Powers yeah, same!
Just to add more comments
t r u e s t o r y b r o . . .

Alex The dragon Listen to me night
Listen to existential genius
I never thought I could love him more but then I hear this song right when I need to.

So no one noticed that spongebob laugh at 1:05
Imagine being in a relationship where you are giving so much and they used to as well but don't anymore and they grow distant and always upset and there's nothing you can do to fix it but be there with an empty reason
yeah just IMAGINE that
Don’t need to..
Been there lmao
Why I was fixated the minute I heard it! It was one of those "oh shit he can read my mind" songs
Woooahh!!! I think I just got the lyric "If you're willing to give me yours, why should I waste mine?"
Whats that meaning?!
@Kate KreeperKing It means time.
@Rocka Kaysa k thanks
I heard "if your willing to give me yours, why should I waste my time?"
jack Stauber deserves so much more recognition!
When i saw the title i thought of Mars Argo
you have good taste
Agreeeeeeed

This song breaks me, jack you’re a genius
Omg! Did Jack just say “asshole”?! I’m literally crying and shaking rn he would never do this.
@Francisco Animations after the line "inchman, inchman, why'd you take so long" he says "oh what the hell did i do?"
very mild swear but still
Robert Edwards how not cool >:(
@GOLDEN FOX r/woooosh
Kinda reminds me of Weezer and I love it.
“When I’m asshole you’re offended”
I love your p r o f i l e p i c t u r e . *_G O R I L L A Z_*
This song like encompasses the word compassion. You've done it again Jack!
You keep your distance, that’s for sure.
You led me to believe you’re an open door!
But when I reach for your hand oh!
I learn otherwise.
You hand affection out in paper bags.
800 pages
Lined from the top to the bottom, with the words “come here”.
When I’m nice you’re disinterested, when I’m an asshole you’re offended.
You’re lure with no prize,
a chase with no catch
You’re perfect, Runaway!
Though I’m never gonna lock you down, I’m always gonna be around.
If I follow slowly
You’ll wait up for me.
You’re to blame, Runaway!
There’s a problem with your temperature.
I did my best, I tried my best to warm you down, but you froze my thermometer!
Your time is a magical thing, like, this curse that you put on me.
If you aren’t willing to give me yours, why should I waste mine!
When I’m nice you’re disinterested, when I’m an asshole you’re offended.
You’re a lure with no prize
A chase with no catch
You’re perfect, Runaway!

Me and my brother are contributing so many views to this
a few years ago Youtube counted views in a way where if you view it more than once on the same account it will not add a view to the number. this was implemented to keep people from using viewbots.
The lyrics here (for me at least,) are a bit hard to hear, so...

I think he was like 20 When he published this
This man was born to be great
