Man, this song hits home, so much that I don't believe I need to describe this verse by verse and then hook. The overall meaning of this song is in the title; I'm a runaway lover. I've become so selfish in loving me that when a girl shows that same compassion and passion within her, I begin to be afraid and runaway. Essentially in this song I say how I can't run away from the lies within me. I may feel some type of way around certain girls but deep down none of them can love me more than I can love myself. This song really puts the listener in a state of thinking about the things they run away from. In my case, it's love, I guess life taught me that love is definitely real but can easily turn into hate based off circumstance and scenario. I only run away from this beautiful experience when it comes to sharing it with others, of course I keep it with me. All in all, this song represents the parts of me that I wish to run away from. It may be difficult for me to find love but it's always inside and I see life benefiting a whole lot more when I don't put my love to the side. Meaning when I put myself first instead of turning over stones for people that would never do the same. Sometimes I'm clouded and filled with doubt that there is no love in the air, and there isn't. But what matters more is that the love is within and not every emotion is in need of attention, hence the very first line "I'm too smart to think twice, my intuition never lies, but not every thought is needing my emotion I got to keep it inside". Why is love so hard to find you ask? In my perspective in this world hate overrides the vibration of love, it's in our nature to look at the negatives in life out of survival, it's simply an instinct. However, putting your personal self-love over the hate of the world is nonsense in my eyes and that is what this song is for again just building up the self-love within
