I think this song is about some escape of all your problems or situations going on in your life. You could run away to some place where you could think about everything or even just talk to someone you love and trust. Its when you escape from all of the hard things going on in your life just so you can smile and be happy. Like the problems don't even matter anymore. I could be wrong but the songs lyrics usually help me through my situations because it gives me hope that it will end sooner or later and I will be happy again.
