I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window
All the pictures and pain, I've left behind
All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find
And I wonder, how long it will take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder, how far it'll take me
To run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, this life makes no sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
Well, I'm too young to be taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe all this hypocrisy
And I wonder, how long it will take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name, come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me
Oh, oh, oh
[verse 1]
Stepping out of the shade
I wanna bathe in the light
They're giving us a bad name
Being good never felt quite right
[pre-refrain]
I know there's some place better
Far away from the here
We're gold as long as we're together
Hey, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
We were born to run away, oh, oh
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away, oh, woah
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor
Got every day to live for
We were born to run away, oh, woah
Oh, yeah, born to run away
[verse 2]
We'll be living in color
Yesterday was black and white
No more looking over my shoulder
We'll be in paradise
[pre-refrain]
I know there's some place better
Far away from here
We're gold as long as we're together
Hey, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
We were born to run away, oh, woah
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away, woah, woah
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor
Got every day to live for
We were born to run away, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, born to run away

And we'll drive through the night
Following the moonlight
I'll be right by your side
[Refrain]
We were born to run away, oh, oh (Ooh, yeah)
Top down, no doubt
We were born to run away, woah, woah (Oh)
Break out the blue horizon
We'll never settle, pedal to the floor (No, no)
Got every day to live for
We were born to run away, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, born to run away
[outro]
(Runaway)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away with me
(Runaway)
Run away with me
Born to run away
