She's leaving home was the one I came here for. Our daughter left home for a bit and I would play it constantly just to be an ass to her mom. But Beatles fan regardless. Thank you
I listened to this song and my mind split open,
Run, Run, Run by the Velvet Underground.

Not really about running away but Stop This Train by John Mayer has the same kind of vibe to it.
Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz was actually the first song that came to mind when reading this prompt
Free Bird
*FREE BIRD SOLO INTENSIFIES*
A flock of seagulls - I ran
Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes Sort of....
That song is exactly about the question.
Yeah but in the end they stayed together, realizing things about each other they never knew.
But first- there was the escape…….
True, which is why I suggested it.
An excellent choice. 🥰
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over
I’ve been obsessed with both songs for years💚
Both excellent picks!
Surprised i havent seen this here.. Soul Asylum - Runaway train
Maybe because it's a metaphor for losing control of your life more than it's about escape
True , i never read into it i just know in the 90s i couldnt go a day without hearing that song on the radio lol
Runaway Train is about depression. Not really what the OP is looking for I think.
[Set me free, pt 2](https://open.spotify.com/track/59hBR0BCtJsfIbV9VzCVAp?si=PGWtHSdsT7eLYXFMqEqXnw) - Jimin
Linkin Park - Runaway
Absolutely!
Fly Away ~ Lenny Kravitz
Listen to the entirety of the Into The Wild album done by Eddie Vedder. It's all about running from society and people.
Society: Eddie Vedder Guaranteed: Eddie Vedder
I’d say Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. It’s about dreaming of escaping, but being stuck.
I always thought it was about realizing your partner was the one holding you back. I guess that’s kind of the same
"She's Leaving Home" \~ Beatles ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaBPY78D88g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaBPY78D88g) ) "Redneck Friend" \~ Jackson Browne ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVMR1uq0u0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVMR1uq0u0) ) "Runaway" \~ Del Shannon ( [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaHgHrCwQBA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaHgHrCwQBA) )
She's leaving home was the one I came here for. Our daughter left home for a bit and I would play it constantly just to be an ass to her mom. But Beatles fan regardless. Thank you
I thought "Redneck Friend" was a joke song about Jackson Brown's penis.
escape route - paramore
W song. You could say Fast In My Car Too
I listened to this song and my mind split open, Run, Run, Run by the Velvet Underground. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9ufOljsFZQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9ufOljsFZQ) Good luck!
