about this song
"On the lush “Runaway,” Cole talks about his relationship troubles, which, underneath the moral struggles and spiritual dichotomies hinted at by the album title, is another topic he goes back to throughout the record. He’s trying to be good to his girl but isn’t succeeding: “You don’t wanna let her down but you’re too young for the settle down.” But the topics soon expand: a pervy high school coach, how rape during slavery led to his grandmother’s light complexion.
