Twin Shadow
Runaway
[Verse 1]
You fell out of my name
'Cause I must've lost my tolerance
Been covering my pain talking to a quiet audience
I knew that crash was coming then
I felt it in my blood
Great grandma was a voodoo girl
She told me bout the flood

[Chorus]
She sang boy, you are a runaway
You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away Boy, you are a runaway
And nothing's gonna change unless you change

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry I can't talk right now
Some things are out of my control
My fathers in the jailhouse, no
I think he's in the hospital
My mother is incredible
She's held us for so long
She's like the breath behind my words
Should have the rights to all my songs

[Chorus]
She sang boy, you are a runaway
You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away Boy, you are a runaway
And nothing's gonna change unless you change
[Verse 3]
I've always been a shy kid
There's a shadow on my name
I've learned you're supposed to deal with it
I've had a taste of fame
But somethings always holding back
My politeness isn't faux
But it's never done me any good
I should probably let it go

[Chorus]
And say boy, you are a runaway
You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away Boy, you are a runaway
And nothing's gonna change unless you-
Nothing's gonna change unless you change

[Bridge]
Out of nowhere
I'm leaning in your window, singing
Songs out of my soundtrack
Play it back
Permanently into your heart

[Outro]
Boy, boy, you are a runaway
Boy, boy, nothing in your hand
Boy, boy, you are a runaway
Boy, boy, nothing in your hand
