Intro Verse I can still remember The words and what they meant As we etched them with our fingers In years of wet cement The days blurred into each other Though everything seemed clear We cruised along at half speed But then we shifted gears We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons But even then we should have stayed Chorus But we ran away....... Now all my friends gone Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway..... But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone? Verse Identities assume us as nine and five add up Synchronizing watches to the seconds that we lost I looked up and saw you I know that you saw me We froze but for a moment in empathy I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug You gave my emptiness away Chorus But you ranaway Now all my friends gone Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone? Bridge We?re all ok until the day we?re not The surface shines while the in....side rots We raced the sunset and we al...most won We slammed the brakes but the whee..ls went on........... Chorus We ran away Now all my friends gone Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved Runaway But what are we running from? A show of hands from those in this audience of one Where have they gone?

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un sentiment de nostalgie et d'errance. L’interprète se remémore le temps où les choses semblaient plus simples et où il partageait des moments précieux avec ses amis. Cependant, avec le temps, il ressent une distance qui s’est installée entre eux, comme s'ils avaient évolué au-delà de leurs anciennes passions. Il se questionne sur la nature de ce qu'ils fuient vraiment et sur la perte des connexions humaines qui étaient jadis si fortes. Le contexte semble illustrer cette transition difficile de l'innocence à l'âge adulte, avec toute la complexité et la mélancolie qui l'accompagnent. Cette réflexion sur la vie, l’amitié et l’éloignement renvoie à des expériences universelles que nous connaissons tous à un moment donné.
