Lyrics
The Runaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You get caught in a hurricane
Scattered thoughts make you go insane
You lock yourself in your own cage
Hide the keys and then fade away
You are not alone
We can get through it tonight
I will be the anchor to your runaway train tonight
I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train
I will be your anchor
You think this could be the end
an afterlife is just pretend
Illuminate the darkest days
I'm never leaving your side, I'm here to stay
You are not alone
We can get through it tonight
I will be the anchor to your runaway train tonight
I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train
Never look back, never regret, all of the words you said in hope
Never pretend, never the end, there's always a fight to win
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train
Tonight, I will be the beacon when you're feeling insane
I know it hurts sometimes, so I'll get in line with you
Tonight, I will be the anchor to your runaway train
I will be your anchor
