TALK - Run Away To Mars Lyrics

TALK Lyrics

"Run Away To Mars"

Your colour's fading
'Cause I kept you waiting
It's a wild, wild world
And you're a wild, wild girl
Our sun's still shining
But it seems half the size
And it's a wild, wild world
Out here

Before my time runs out

What if I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end
If I run out of oxygen?
When I run away to Mars

I can't tell which way's home
I've been gone for so long
It's an empty world up here
I skip stones and wonder
How long till I'm discovered?
It's a quiet life up here

Before my time runs out

What if I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end
If I run out of oxygen?
When I run away to Mars

Three, two, one, I miss you
I'm sorry, I got issues

What if I run away to Mars?
Would you find me in the stars?
Would you miss me in the end
If I run out of oxygen?
When I run away to Mars

"Run Away To Mars" was released as part of a label deal between Capitol Records and Range Music Partners on the 23rd of June, 2021, accompanied by the music video. In 2022, the track sprung in popularity due to TikTok where TALK has posted various snippets of the song. He wrote about the song on Twitter on the 29th of August, 2022, "What's up new space lords it's your captain speaking and it appears a lot of new astronauts have joined the mission to mars. Welcome and I hope you brought extra undies thanks for streaming my songs I love you."

"'Run Away to Mars' came to me when I was feeling really alone and isolated. Writing has always been a way for me to process and deal with my emotions, and for this song I pictured myself as far away as humanly possible. In my mind, that was Mars," explained Nicholas Durocher AKA TALK. "I love movies about space and adventure, and I drew inspiration from those worlds to build my own – kind of like a kid making a cardboard rocket ship in his backyard. I just happen to be better at making songs than I am at arts and crafts. As the song started to grow in my head and on paper, it transformed into a love song for humanity. A way to feel, just for a moment, what it would be like to leave it all behind. A love song for Mother Earth."
