Carly Rae Jepsen – Run Away With Me Lyrics

Carly Rae Jepsen – Run Away With Me Lyrics

On “Run Away with Me”, lyrics of restlessness and covert passion are delivered over high-paced retro-inspired synths, a pulsing bass, and crashing drums that drive the track. The song establishes CRJ as an artist who has grown past the the bubblegum nature of her breakthrough album Kiss. However, the pop catchiness of Carly Rae’s work is still present on E•MO•TION.

According to Jepsen, the song is about the “magic” of long-distance lovers being together, even if only briefly:

[Verse 1]
You’re stuck in my head
Stuck on my heart
Stuck in my body, body
I wanna go
Get outta here
I’m sick of the party, party
I’d run away
I’d run away with you, ooh

[Verse 2]
This is the part
You gotta say
All that you’re feeling, feeling
Packing a bag
Leaving tonight
While everyone’s sleeping, sleeping
Let’s run away
I’ll run away with you, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I’ll find your lips in the streetlights
I wanna be there with you, ooh

[Chorus]
Baby (Hey), take me to the feeling (Hey)
I’ll be your sinner in secret (Hey)
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me
Baby (Hey), every single minute (Hey)
I’ll be your hero and win it (Hey)
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me

[Verse 3]
Up in the clouds, high as a kite
Over the city, city
We never sleep, we never try
When you are with me, with me
I wanna stay
I wanna stay here with you, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I’ll find your lips in the streetlights
I wanna be there with you, ooh

[Chorus]
Oh baby (Hey), take me to the feeling (Hey)
I’ll be your sinner in secret (Hey)
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me
Oh baby (Hey), every single minute (Hey)
I’ll be your hero and win it (Hey)
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me

[Bridge]
Hold on to me, I never wanna let you go, oh
(Run away with me, run away with me)
Over the weekend, we could turn the world to gold, oh
(Run away with me, run away with me)
(We could turn the world to gold, oh-oh)
Over the weekend, we could turn the world to gold
Oh (Oh), oh

[Chorus]
Oh my baby, take me to the feeling (Take me to, take me to it)
I’ll be your sinner, in secret (Oh, when the lights go)
When the lights go out
Run away with me (Just run away)
Run away with me (With me)
(Oh, yeah yeah) Baby
Every single minute (Hey)
I’ll be your hero and win it (Hey)
When the lights go out
Run away with me, run away with me
[Outro]
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Run away with me, run away with me
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Run away with me, run away with me
