Ziggy Alberts started writing Runaway when he was on tour in Australia and New Zealand during the winter of 2015. As he says in an interview with This is Radelaide,
Runaway is a song about re-opening up a relationship that heavily affected my emotional trust, in order to become friends and heal tho...
You see well, I remember how you said
That sometimes it gets just a little hard being home
There's sand stuck in my bed and memories in my head
Love I've been trying to let this whole thing go
See it was late, I dropped you home ‘cause we were sober
And you said, "Well why don't you stay?"
I said "Love, it's just a little late for you to be seeing me this way"
See I, well I kept my guard up because you let me down,
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway
See I, well I kept my guard up in case you let me down,
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway
You were the one to runaway
You see well, I remember how you said
That sometimes it gets just a little hard being alone
There's sand stuck in my head and memories of us in bed
See love I'm still trying to let this whole thing go
And it was late when I dropped you home ‘cause we were sober
And you said "Well why don't you stay?"
I said "Love, it's just a little late for you to be seeing me this way"
See I, well I kept my guard up because you let me down,
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway
See I, well I kept my guard up in case you let me down (no)
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway
You were the one to runaway
Oh well I need, well I need these kisses like they're free,
Her voice sings to me when I hear her calling, when I hear her calling
She gives me kisses like she needs me and it's so sweet
Because I know that she doesn't
But I need these kisses like they're free
Her voice sings to me when I hear her calling, when I hear her calling
And she gives me kisses like she needs me and it's so sweet
Because I know that she doesn't
See I, well I kept my guard up because you let me down,
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway
See I, well I kept my guard up in case you let me down (no)
But you can't blame that I wasn't always around
See I kept my guard up because you were the one to runaway, runaway
You, you, mmm
You were the one to runaway
You were the one to runaway
You were the one to runaway
