Runaway (Aurora)

The song tells a story through its lyrics across multiple verses and choruses. It describes seeing images in the ocean and a tree that seemed like glimpses of heaven. Though feeling alive dancing in the rain, the singer feels lost and wants to return home to where they belong, repeating the plea through the chorus. In the following verses, the singer reflects on lying to themselves while painting a picture that reminded them of a past love who wasn't really there. By the bridge, the singer continues running for a soft place to fall, and the final chorus reiterates their desire to be taken home.

[Intro]

Em D (4x)

[Verse 1]

Em D
I was listening to the ocean
Em D
I saw a face in the sand
C
But when I picked it up
G D C
Then it vanished away from my hands
Em D
I had a dream I was seven
Em D
Climbing my way in a tree
C
I saw a piece of heaven
G D C
Waiting impatient for me

[Pre-Chorus]

Am
And I was running far away
C
Would I run off the world someday?
G D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Am
And I was dancing in the rain
C
I felt alive and I can't complain

[Chorus]

G
But now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong
C
I can't take it anymore

[Verse 2]

Em D
I was painting a picture
Em D
The picture was a painting of you and
C G
For a moment I thought you were here
D C
But then again, it wasn't true
Em D
And all this time I have been lying
Em D
Oh, lying in secret to myself
C G D
I've been putting sorrow on the farrest place
C
On my shelf, da di da

[Pre-Chorus]

Am
And I was running far away
C
Would I run off the world someday?
G D
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Am
And I was dancing in the rain
C
I felt alive and I can't complain

[Chorus]

G
But now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go


G
Now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go


G
Now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong
C
I can't take it anymore

[Bridge]

Am
But I kept running
C
For a soft place to fall
G
And I kept running
D
For a soft place to fall
Am
And I kept running
C
For a soft place to fall
G
And I kept running
D
For a soft place to fall

[Pre-Chorus]

Am
And I was running far away
C
Would I run off the world someday?

[Chorus]

G
But now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go


G
Now take me home
D Cmaj7
Take me home where I belong

I got no other place to go

[Outro]

G D
Now take me home
Cmaj7
Home where I belong, oh no, no
G D
Now take me home
Cmaj7
Home where I belong, oh oh-oh oh-oh
G D
Now take me home
Cmaj7
Home where I belong, oh no, no
G D
Now take me home
Cmaj7
Home where I belong
C
I can't take it anymore
