Send "Runaway" Ringtone to Cell

Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah
Crashed the car, and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work 'cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down; I'm already on the ground
No, you can't 'cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out, no
Today, it's like I'm under a heavy cloud

And I feel so alive
I can't help myself
Don't you realize?

[Chorus]
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and run away, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and run away, yeah

So-so is how I'm doing if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world, but I'm winning
Stay there, come closer - it's at your own risk
Yeah, you know how it is: life can be a bitch

But I feel so alive
I can't help myself
Don't you realize?

[Chorus]

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
(Run away, run, run away)
Run away, run away
(Run away, run, run away)

[Chorus x 2]

    General Comment:I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR FUCKING OPINION ON HOW GOOD THE SONG IS OR HOW MUCH YOU LOVE IT.

    THIS WEBSITE IS CALLED SONG MEANINGS NOT SONG OPINIONS!

    Shut up and put what you think the song means.

    Well, I think this song is about wanting to runaway from all your problems.

    I think its about being able to live with the bittersweet nature of the world and acknowledging that there is always a bitter part seamlessly connected in all o four lives.

    General Comment:pretty much i agree with girlygurl44

    Its one of those, "i have a bad day" songs
    Where you get up, figure out how much life is treating you, like:

    Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
    My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range
    Looks like it's just one of those kind of days

    and the only thing you want to do just to get that off your mind is just lose control..as in a good way.
    Scream out loud, Laugh at yourself, etc etc, just to make you feel happy.

    and what i think when she says "Runaway" is to just runaway from those problems or that bad day you had and go to a direction where you don't want to think about it.....

    these are my thoughts. overall, i think its a good song, for a bad day.

    General Comment:This is by far the best song on the new album.

    It's the one song that sounds like the fun, but modest avril from 'let go'.

    All the songs with her new cheerleader chants just remind me of Gwen Stefani, and not in a good way. :/

    General Comment:LOL @ Banshee-Screams.

    This song is easily the best off her new record, and probably Top 5 out of anything she has done.

    It's just an amazing song!
