Running
Alyssa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, can you love me longer?
Will you stick around?
If I tell you that I need space
Promise not to overcomplicate
I just need to be found
And if I miss you, it’ll change the way I kiss you
I don’t wanna bore you but I’m running out of things to say
I’m running toward my doubt
I’m running, running, running, running
But all this running’s gonna bring me home to you
Miles apart but I don’t mind it
Love me from afar and find me
Falling deeper, deeper into you
Baby choose your moments wisely
Less is more, it’s so enticing
Stronger than we’ve ever been before
And if I miss you, it’ll change the way I kiss you
I don’t wanna bore you but I’m running out of things to say
I’m running from myself
I’m running toward my doubt
I’m running, running, running, running
But all this running’s gonna bring me home to you
And if I miss you, it’ll change the way I kiss you
I don’t wanna bore you but I’m running out of things to say
I’m running from myself
I’m running toward my doubt
I’m running, running, running, running
But all this running’s gonna bring me home to you
The lyrics of Alyssa's song "Running" depict the struggle of being in a relationship while also feeling the need to take some space and time for oneself. The first line "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" suggests that sometimes distance can actually make someone realize how much they love and cherish their partner. The following lines, "Tell me, can you love me longer? Will you stick around? If I tell you that I need space, promise not to overcomplicate" express a fear of losing the relationship, but also a desire for understanding and support in taking some time for oneself.
The chorus "And if I miss you, it’ll change the way I kiss you, I don’t wanna bore you but I’m running out of things to say" speaks to the difficulty of maintaining a relationship and keeping things fresh while also dealing with personal struggles. The repeated lines "I’m running from myself, I’m running toward my doubt, I’m running, running, running, running, but all this running’s gonna bring me home to you" suggests that despite the difficulties and the desire for space, the singer ultimately wants to come back to their partner and continue the relationship, but needs to work through some personal struggles first.
Overall, the lyrics of "Running" portray a common struggle in relationships - finding the balance between individual needs and the needs of the relationship, and the fear of losing the relationship or causing harm. The repeated running metaphor suggests that despite the difficulties and the need for space, the singer is ultimately working towards a solution that will allow them to come back to their partner and continue the relationship.
