Runaway (feat. Carly Rose Sonenclar)

Eyes closed, well I see

Why now? Why me?

Self doubt got me down again

Floating like a butterfly, sting like Ali

We plant the seeds, they be out of stock and blowing

Cause everyone's a producer when they step into the room

And everyone's got opinions and everybody's a critic

And everyone tells you how it would be different if they the one's who did it

But they didn't do it, I did it, you did it, we did it

I got the keys to the kingdom, I'll let you in for a minute

But look, don't touch, see the writing's on the wall

From the ones who came before, all the mighty who have fallen

We witness like Jehovas, H to the Izzo

Weight upon my shoulders, pain in the middle

So I stay here, waiting for a sign

And I hear the same voice start to echo in my mind

We could just run away, headed for the fast cars and bright light

If you just follow me, let's explore and get lost in tonight

Don't hesitate, I could make you feel like you're alive

We could just run away, we could just run away

My biggest dream is my biggest fear

And I think it's by design

Cause if we don't succeed at what we're trying to do

It's like we knew it would happen the whole time

It's opposite, it's like submarines and rocket ships

It's [?]

My future means on top of it

Calling down like you got this shit

Speechless, I stay talkative

Holding my breath for the last step

Oh man, if I could have done it over again

I'd do it different, I swear

As if we all have some road to follow like it's so apparent

I'm done caring, I want it, and if I want it, I take it

And if I take it, I hold it forever, don't be mistaken, no

One time, I'mma finish what I started

I'mma show you what could happen

I'm the apple in the garden

I'm the knowledge so forbidden

I'mma do now what I didn't

When the angels get to singing, I'mma finally start to listen

We could just run away, headed for the fast cars and bright light

If you just follow me, let's explore and get lost in tonight

Don't hesitate, I could make you feel like you're alive

We could just run away, we could just run away

I float in the stars now, what happens if I fall down?

Would you catch me, would you put me back together?

Don't you let me lose sight, what happens if it's too bright?

Would you tell me that nothing lasts forever?

We could just run away, headed for the fast cars and bright light

If you just follow me, let's explore and get lost in tonight

Don't hesitate, I could make you feel like you're alive

We could just run away, we could just run away
