This song is about the shock you feel after a tragedy. You feel lost, and alone, and want to run away because you need time to heal.
Lyrics
I'm gonna run away
Just gotta get away
The lightning strikes you
Yeah you never had a chance
Whatcha wanna do when you have no clue
Some say it's over but that's just crazy
I'm never givin' up it's just not me
Yet here we are
Caught off guard (guard)
I'm left here standin' in the shadows (shadows)
Far away from those that really matter
Some say you're gonna be just fine
I really think I'm gonna need more time
I'm left here standing in the shadows (shadows)
Where to start it doesn't really matter
Some say your gonna be fine
But the only thing workin' is the hands of time
This makes no sense
Words I can't bear to hear
Whatcha gonna do when the world gets weird
Hearin' you slip away
My mind just turns to blank
So many questions you're not here
Yet here we are
I won't let go
We close your door
And time just slows (slows, slows)
I'm left here standing in the shadows (shadows)
Far away from those that really matter
Some say you're gonna be just fine
I really think I'm gonna need more time
I'm left here standin' in the shadows (shadows)
Where to start it doesn't really matter
Some say your gonna be fine
But the only thing workin' is the hands of time (of time)
I'm gonna run away (run away)
Just gotta get away
I'm left here standing in the shadows (shadows)
Far away from those that really matter
Some say you're gonna be just fine
I really think I'm gonna need more time (more time)
I'm left here standin' in the shadows (shadows)
Where to start it doesn't really matter
Some say you're gonna be fine
But the only thing workin' is the hands of time (of time)
I'm gonna run away (run away)
Just gotta get away (gotta get away)
