Love Runs Out
♫ One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the bright, and black, that's making you run.
And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright,
'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out.
I'll be doin' this, if you ever doubt,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium.
And I feel alright, and I feel alright,
'Cause I worked it out, yeah I worked it out.
I'll be doin' this, if you ever doubt,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
I got my mind made up and I can't let go.
I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul.
I'll be running, I'll be running,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
There's a maniac out in front of me.
Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mephistopheles.
My momma raised me good, momma raised me right.
Momma said "do what you want, say prayers at night",
And I'm saying them, cause I'm so devout.
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out, yeah.
I got my mind made up and I can't let go.
I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul.
I'll be running, I'll be running,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
Ooh, we all want the same thing.
Ooh, we all run for something.
Oh for God, for fate,
For love, for hate,
For gold, and rust,
For diamonds, and dust.
I'll be our light, your match, your burning sun,
I'll be the bright and black that's making you run.
I got my mind made up and I can't let go.
I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul.
I'll be running, I'll be running,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun,
I'll be the bright and black that's making you run.
And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright,
'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out.
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.
'Til the love runs out.
The lyrics of OneRepublic's Love Runs Out talk about being there for someone, being their light in the darkness, and their motivation to keep going. The singer promises to be their match, their burning sun, and the reason behind their run, to make them feel alright, to work everything out, and to keep running until the love runs out. The second verse talks more about being the wild force behind the rush of love, the excitement, and the energy. The bridge elaborates on the things people run for, including love, hate, fate, gold, diamonds, and, most importantly, the pursuit of something greater than oneself. The song then ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the promise of being there till the love runs out, and starting a fire that shuts everything down.
One interesting fact about Love Runs Out is that it was not originally planned to be a part of OneRepublic's third album Native. The song was initially intended for their previous album, but the band had to rewrite the chorus and tweak some parts of the song before releasing it. Another fascinating tidbit is that the song was composed in a Belgian studio that OneRepublic rented to work on their music. Ryan Tedder, the lead singer, stumbled upon a bassline that he thought could be turned into a hit record and worked with the band to create what became Love Runs Out.
The song was first released in April 2014 as a promotional single after it was featured in the NBA Playoffs advertisement buildup. The track debuted at number 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100 after the band performed the song on the NBC show The Voice. In August 2014, Love Runs Out peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it OneRepublic's second top-twenty hit.
Apart from the impressive chart performance of the song, Love Runs Out was critically acclaimed for its production and instrumentals. Critics praised the song's "thumping" bass drum and horns sections, which added depth to the track. Another impressive fact is that the music video for Love Runs Out was entirely shot in Mexico City, and it showcases the city's vibrant culture, arts, and street performers.
The songwriters behind Love Runs Out include Ryan Tedder, the lead singer of OneRepublic, and two-time Grammy-winning songwriter Brent Kutzle. The two collaborated on several hit records, including OneRepublic's Apologize, Beyonce's Halo, and Ellie Goulding's Burn. Kutzle, who is also the bassist for OneRepublic, contributed significantly to the song's opening riff.
The song's chorus, "I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun," has been used in several advertisements and movies since its release, including a commercial for the Apple Watch and the trailer for the film Free Guy. Love Runs Out has also been covered by several artists, including the a cappella group Pentatonix.

In 2017, a fan lost his faith in his dreams and left Minecraft.
2019. He started listening to the Minecraft Songs he listened to since 2011.
Then, on the 11th April, he started to feel joy.
Then 12th April he left a comment.
