Hey all! Man, it's been a LONG time since I've been here, at least two years. It's good to be back!

 

I'm looking for the correct lyrics to "I Ran Away". I know it's a b-side and there's no official written document showing the lyrics Chris wrote himself, but the lyrics i find on most lyric sites just don't seem right in some places.

 

For instance, in one like, most lyrics sites say:

 

And when I heard you call

"Come back to me"

 

I distinctly hear:

 

And when I heard you call

To come back to you

 

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the popular lyric pages have a few parts wrong. I hope someone can help!

 

Thanks!

It's my favourite Coldplay song, so these are the lyrics!

 

 

One, two, three...well

 

I ran away from you

That's all I ever do

And though I started here

I ran away from you

I'm gonna come on in

And see it through

 

I ran away from you

That's all I ever do

And when I heard you call

To come back to you

And though I should stay

I don't have the stomach to

 

Everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

Everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call

And yet my day was so full

There might be nothing left to do

So I ran away from you

 

I'm gonna come on in

My eyes are closed

I can feel it there

The sun's so close

I'm gonna come on out

And burn the sky

 

A star arose, in my own cage

I'm stuck in line

And in a cage

Just a single star

I see it fall

 

Everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

Everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call

And yet my day was so full

There might be nothing what to do

And so I ran away from you

Yeah that seems pretty close.

 

Except I swear he's saying "my belly is so full" instead of "my isn't so full" lol.

 

I also do know he's saying "Will" not "well" at the beginning, as sort of an intro queue to Will Champion's solo drum intro.

 

Anyone else got any ideas? lol.

This is one of my favorite Coldplay songs. But something really strange happened last night, I was hearing a radio station and suddenly I RAN AWAY started! I couldn't believe it!

One, two, three...Will...

 

I ran away from you

It's all I ever do

And though I started here

I ran away from you

I'm gonna come on in

And see it through

 

I ran away from you

It's all I ever do

And when I heard you calls

To come back to you

And though I should stay

I don't have the stomach to

 

And everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

And everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call

And yet my belly is so full

There might be nothing left to do

So I ran away from you

 

When I come on in

My eyes were closed

I can feel it there

The sun's so close

When I come on out

I'm not gonna stop

 

A star arose, in my own cage

I'm stuck in line

And in a cage

Just a single star

I see it fall

 

And everyone I know

Says I'm a fool to mess with you

And everyone I know

Says it's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call

And yet my belly is so full

There might be nothing left to do

And so I ran away from you

 

These have got to be some of the hardest Coldplay lyrics to decipher...

Tell me about it.

 

That's what it all SOUNDS like to me, but some parts don't make sense. I dunno. Guess it's a lost cause.

It's not belly, it's day! "And yet my day is so full" :thinking:

 

And yeah, he says Will in the beginning.

 

Oh and i think it's "just a single star i sing for", not "...i see it fall" :thinking:

Up until now, I always thought the lyric was "every one of us says..." rather than "everyone I know says..."

 

:rolleyes:

Can someone ask Debs or something?

You can try...

When we have the correct lyrics, everyone will be happier!

I sure will, love this song and i never remember the lyrics :(

Awesome! Let us know if you find anything out! I'd love to get the officials.

 

Speaking of which, the boys need to release a b-sides collection, including any b-sides from Viva of course.

A b-side collection would be great yeah :thinking:
