A dreamy and understated approach to alt-pop from Portland’s finest, Genevieve Stokes.
Do you remember that drive together?
The seats were hot, black leather
The summer felt so much better when I was with you
And though I never knew you deeply, I thought someday I could
There was something so familiar about you in the dark where we stood
“‘Running Away’ was written during an emotionally turbulent time in my life. Finding someone I had a strong connection with brought up emotions I had never felt so intensely. It’s exciting and new, but also overwhelming. I wasn’t sure if my feelings were fully reciprocated and I was too afraid to ask. The song is a representation of how I overthought and tormented myself over my feelings.”
