Isle of Dogs - Runaways Lyrics

They said the crusade won't be over
I said I can't hold on much longer
I could once but now I got older
Got a little bit wiser
A little bit nicer
I say I've always been a poser
I just want to run away with my lover
Count my wrinkles and die in the clover
Stubborn and happy and very much never

Happy with who I am
Monster under the bed
Feelings taking over
I feel like a bother
I try to never get close and
To hide and pretend
It's not really over

F*ck this city and f*ck this life
Let's sail away this midnight I'll
Let you do anything you want
Mark my skin baby let's go
F*ck your family and f*ck my friends
Let's go together to the end
I'll set fire to what we leave behind
We're run-run-runaways tonight

I said I never cared for beauty
I said real life is always ugly
I saw you once but I felt foolish
You are what my heart truly desires
I'll buy a cottage in a lavender field
Bake you cakes call you my honeybee
If I stay here I'll go fully mad
I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead

Angry with who I am
I don't wanna go back
Feelings taking over
I feel like a bother
I try to never get close and
To hide and pretend
It's not really over

F*ck this city and f*ck this life
Let's sail away this midnight I'll
Let you do anything you want
Mark my skin baby let's go
F*ck your family and f*ck my friends
Let's go together to the end
I'll set fire to what we leave behind
We're run-run-runaways tonight

They don't know who I really am
They will never understand
If I don't change now, when will I
Break free from all these lies
Please teach me how to be kind
I wanna go back I wanna rewind
I wanna be good so good for you
I don't know how I have no clue

F*ck this city and f*ck this life
Let's sail away this midnight I'll
Let you do anything you want
Mark my skin baby let's go
F*ck your family and f*ck my friends
Let's go together to the end
I'll set fire to what we leave behind
We're run-run-runaways tonight
