‘Run with me (도망가자)’ is a song from Sunwoojunga(선우정아)’s third official album ‘Serenade’ (2019) that can draw tears with its simple but heartfelt lyrics.
There’s something quite universal about suffering. We feel physical or mental pain, go through hardships in life, and, at the very least, we all get tired. This song is a strong but understanding voice – whether it’s another person’s or your own – that sees your suffering and invites you to step away for a while.
You need to rest. Let’s go somewhere – anywhere. And you won’t be alone.
Accompanied by Sunwoojunga’s expressive singing, the song is a consolation to anyone who is suffering and feels like they’re suffering alone.

Translated Lyrics to ‘Run with me’ (도망가자)
Let’s run away
I think we just need to go some place
You look like you could cry any moment now
It’s okay
Let’s go
Put down the worries for a while
And instead let’s pack light
Let’s laugh as much as we can and come back
Let’s not think about anything while we’re there
I’ll be with you just like this
If you reach out, I’ll be there to hold your hand
Would there be anything to be afraid of
No matter where we go
We’ll be holding each other ever so tight
Because it’s you, I have more than enough
Look at me, would you look into my eyes
Until there’s light across your face
Let’s go there together now
Let’s run away
We won’t have to go far
If it’s with you, I’m happy with anything
A place where you can rest easy
Wherever it is, you can tell me
I’ll be with you just like this
If you reach out, I’ll be there to hold your hand
Would there be anything to be afraid of
No matter where we go
We’ll be holding each other ever so tight
We’ll go there, shall we run too
No matter where or how
I’ll be by your side, you can cry as much as you need
And after that
Let’s be brave and come back
It’s fine to be tired, I’ll hold you
It’s fine to be a little slow, to walk one step at a time
I’ll be the one there with you no matter where
Of course, let’s hold hands and go
I love you, would you look into my eyes
Until there’s light across your face
Let’s go there together now
Let’s run away
