Arrow Benjamin/Beyoncé/Naughty Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way I feel
I'm standing still
And nothing else matters now, you're not here
So where are you?
I've been callin' you
I'm missin' you
Chasin' you, chasin' you
Memories turn to dust
Please don't bury us, I got you
I got you
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
Together we'll win it all
I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I'm ready to face it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all
I've outrun the fears that chased
They're standin' still
I'm runnin' still
I'm runnin' still
And every voice that cried inside my head, forever drives
Forever drives
I've killed the lights, oh
Where else can I go?
And where else can I go?
Chasing you, chasing you oh
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
Together we'll win it all
I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I'm ready to face it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all
If I lose myself, I lose it all

These four lonely walls have changed the way I feel
Being alone has drastically altered my emotional state
The way I feel
My emotional state is vastly different from before
I'm standing still
I am stagnant and not progressing emotionally
And nothing else matters now, you're not here
Your absence is all-consuming and everything else seems insignificant
So where are you?
I am desperately seeking your presence
I've been callin' you
I have attempted to reach you through communication
I'm missin' you
I am experiencing a deep sense of loss without you
Where else can I go? Where else can I go?
I have exhausted my options and am at a loss for where to turn
Chasin' you, chasin' you
I am actively pursuing you, trying to catch up
Memories turn to dust
The memories of us are becoming distant and hazy
Please don't bury us, I got you
Don't let our relationship fade away, I am committed to us
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
I am constantly moving and chasing after something
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
I am continuously on the move
Ain't runnin' from myself no more
I am no longer avoiding my true self
Together we'll win it all
We will be victorious as partners
I ain't runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
I am no longer fleeing or avoiding anything
I'm ready to face it all
I am fully prepared to confront any challenge or obstacle
If I lose myself, I lose it all
My entire sense of self and identity is at stake if I fail
I've outrun the fears that chased
I have overcome the anxiety and apprehension that used to haunt me
They're standin' still
My former fears are no longer a threat and are frozen in place
I'm runnin' still
I am still in motion, chasing after something
And every voice that cried inside my head, forever drives
Past negative thoughts and doubts still linger and motivate me
Forever drives
These voices continue to push and fuel me
I've killed the lights, oh
I am intentionally cutting myself off from distractions and negative influences
