[Intro: Chelsea Collins]
Run away, darling
Won't you run away, darling?
'Cause you're tripping and falling
Won't you run away, darling?
Baby, don't look back this time
Ain't no pressing rewind
Run away, darling
Run away, darling
[Verse 1: Foster]
Yeah
So just like that, she said it's over
Gave me all my sweatshirts back, that's how I know we're
Truly at the end of what could have been a beautiful story
But I threw it all away even after she warned me
Said "You're
Too focused on your career
When I'm
With you, you're not really here
And I
Can't play this game anymore
You're
Just not the same as before
You gotta go
Run away and never come back
I know
You wanna stay but it's getting out of control
You always say you understand but you just don't
You just don't"
[Pre-Chorus: Foster]
And I know you wanna make it all work, but
That's only gonna make it all worse, so
Please, baby, take my word
Just turn around and–
[Chorus: Chelsea Collins, Foster, Both]
Run away, darling
Won't you run away, darling? (Run away from me)
'Cause you're tripping and falling
Won't you run away, darling?
Baby, don't look back this time
Ain't no pressing rewind
Run away, darling
Run away, darling
[Bridge: Foster]
Run, run, run, run away from me
Run, run, run, run away from me
Run, run, run, run away from me
Run, run, run, run away
[Verse 2: Foster]
Yeah
Let me apologize, it's long overdue
I know I work too much, should never put that over you
But lately there's just been a lot that I've been goin' through
I know I haven't been myself, but I've been trying to
Fix my priorities
Nothing means more to me
Than keeping you in my life, you supported me
Back when I didn't have any success
But now I'm just so overwhelmed by the stress
And I'm a mess when you close the curtains
You're the only one I show I'm hurtin'
You're the only who knows my burdens
You're the only one I trust for certain
You're the closest that it comes to perfect
[Pre-Chorus: Foster]
And you know I wanna make it all work, but
I tend to only make it all worse, so
If it means you don't get hurt
I'll turn around and–
[Chorus: Chelsea Collins & Foster]
Run away darling
Won't you run away, darling?
'Cause you're tripping and falling
Won't you run away, darling?
Baby, don't look back this time
Ain't no pressing rewind
Run away, darling
Run away, darling
[Outro: Foster]
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away

Although “run away” sounds like the story of a couple who struggles to keep their relationship together, it’s actually metaphorical. I decided to write this story about a hypothetical relationship between my current self and an imaginary future self, whose priorities have changed due to success. I’v...
