Runaway

(album: Subtitles For Feelings - 2023)

I took a walk on the ledge
Treated death like a friend
We set a time and a place
I'll meet you back at the end
Cause the end's just the start
It's only light after dark
I'm back in London again
To check the State of my Heart

Went to the Landmark hotel
Got a suite at the top
Saw the clock on the wall
Had the same growing up
Conor said it's a trip
Like we we're walking through time
Cause we've been here before
On the Central line

Oh, no the music never stops it just plays on
Got a feeling it's where we belong

Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Pour the magic on the bass line baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away

I've been afraid all my life
You can't be brave without fear
What if I show up tonight and there's nobody here
I'm turning 20 again wanna dance like I'm ten
In the mirror like my heroes are all here again

Oh, no the music never stops it just plays on
Got a feeling it's where we belong

Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Pour the magic on the bass line baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away

Yeah we run with the feeling like teenagers in cars
Sitting robbing or stealing if the moment is ours
You don't know that you're living till you're carrying scars
You're either falling in love or falling apart
You're either falling in love or falling apart

Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Pour the magic on the bass line baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Run away run away watch it as it runs away
Strike a match to the keyboard baby
Start a fire just to watch it as it runs away
