Run Away Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Leave me in the sun, I'm melting like a Popsicle
Give me the flu, I'm dying in this hospital
I need you close, but you got me backed against a wall
I try to speak, but my mouth doesn't move at all
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Sing me right back to sleep
We'll never hear your voice break down again
Need you to try to keep
Your distance and I'll come home again
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba, Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Met you in the dark, where we stumble in the mysteries
An opened book that you took and now I'm history
You moved away and you left me with your dying wish
I couldn't prove it was you, you're the arsonist
Leave me in the sun, I'm melting like a Popsicle
Give me the flu, I'm dying in this hospital
I need you close, but you got me backed against a wall
I try to speak, but my mouth doesn't move at all
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Sing me right back to sleep
We'll never hear your voice break down again
Need you to try to keep
Your distance and I'll come home again
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba, Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Met you in the dark, where we stumble in the mysteries
An opened book that you took and now I'm history
You moved away and you left me with your dying wish
I couldn't prove it was you, you're the arsonist
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Sing me right back to sleep
We'll never hear your voice break down again
Need you to try to keep
Your distance and I'll come home again
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
Sing me right back to sleep
We'll never hear your voice break down again
Need you to try to keep
Your distance and I'll come home again
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
And when the lights come up and you see I'm gone
You wake up to an empty house
And when the music stops, and you come undone
You know I'm never gonna get you out of my head
[Outro: Mark Hoppus]
Run away
Don't let me run away, no
Get away
Don't let me get away, no
