Runaway (Live Uncut) by The National



There's no savin' anything
I'll swallow the shine of the sun
There's no savin' anything
I'll swallow the sun

But i won't be a runaway

'cause i won't run
No, i won't be a runaway 

What makes you think i enjoy being led to the flood?
We've got another thing comin' undone
and it's takin' forever

We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead throw our shirts in the fire tonight
 

I go breaking everything
With you swallowing the shine of the sun
I'll go breaking everything
With you swallowing the sun
 

What makes you think i enjoy being led to the flood?
we got another thing coming undone
and it's taking us over
and it's taking forever..

The National breaks and makes every heart. This song "Runaway" made me both.
Their approach is minimalistic and straight to the point. It directs to anyone whose having thoughts of losing and letting go and it lets you feel the deepest hurt of doing so.

 
"I won't be no runaway cause I won't run.."
