"Runaway" Songs

Every now and then, I publish a bunch of posts all at once. This is obviously one of those times. These are "Runaway" Songs. Also, obviously. Enjoy!  ~  JH



 1)  Post Malone  ~  "Circles"  (You may be thinking, why on earth would this guy start off a post of "Runaway" songs with one that doesn't even have that word in the title? Good question! First off, this was the song that originally inspired the post. Secondly, I could have sworn its title was actually "Runaway," due to the word's near-constant repetition in the chorus. So, there you have it!)
