Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shoes by the door since high school
Same hallway, same picture frames
They ask, "You eating? You sleeping?"
I'm scrolling flights, hiding new last names
Suitcase under my bed like a secret
Tabs open for rooms I can't afford
Search bar full of foreign cities
Heart stuck in this second-floor corridor
[Chorus]
I wanna be a runaway grown-up
Pack it all, never look back up
But who holds you when the bills pile up?
Who changes the light when the dark acts up?
Every road out feels like betrayal
Every dream I chase feels fatal
If I walk away, if I grow up
Am I still yours, or a runaway grown-up?
[Verse 2]
You say, "Follow your dream, we’re proud"
While counting coins in the kitchen light
You smile so wide it shakes
Hands so tired they tremble at night
I save drafts of goodbye messages
Delete them before I press send
Practice leaving in my head each morning
Come home by dinner like it’s all pretend
[Chorus]
I wanna be a runaway grown-up
Pack it all, never look back up
But who holds you when the bills pile up?
Who changes the light when the dark acts up?
Every road out feels like betrayal
Every dream I chase feels fatal
If I walk away, if I grow up
Am I still yours, or a runaway grown-up?
[Bridge]
What if I make it and you’re not there?
What if I stay and lose my own air?
Stuck between your needs and mine
Stuck on this invisible line (yeah)
[Chorus]
I wanna be a runaway grown-up
Pack it all, never look back up
But who holds you when the bills pile up?
Who changes the light when the dark acts up?
Every road out feels like betrayal
Every dream I chase feels fatal
If I walk away, if I grow up
Am I still yours, or a runaway grown-up?
