Running
Bay James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world spins in reverse
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you go, turn down the light
No one's here to hold you in the night
I'll keep running
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home!
When our picture fades in the sun
And all the colors blur in the one
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home!
When your all gets blinded
When you fold with the cards
No, I'll never stop fighting
To get to where you are!
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
When the lights are faded to black
Only stars are guiding me back
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
The lyrics in Bay James's song "Running" are a beautiful testament to the strength and persistence of love. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, describing a feeling of desperation and chaos that the singer is trying to escape. Despite this, they declare that they will keep running, seeking refuge in the place where they belong.
The second verse takes a turn, shifting the focus to someone else who is experiencing their own hardships. The singer promises to keep running towards them, even when the world is dark and they feel like they are on their own. The line "I'm still coming home" is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the idea that home is not necessarily a physical place but rather wherever your loved ones are.
The repeated refrain of "wherever we go" underscores this idea of home being tied to people rather than places. The singer promises to keep running and fighting to be with their loved one, no matter where their journey takes them. The final lines once again emphasize the idea of home being a feeling rather than a location, with the singer running towards the stars that will guide them back to where they belong.
Overall, this song is a powerful reminder of the endurance of love and the importance of fighting for the people who matter most to us.

When my heart is ready to burst
Even when my heart is overwhelmed with emotions
When the world spins in reverse
When everything seems to be going wrong
I'll keep running
I won't give up
To the place where I belong
To the place where I feel safe and comfortable
When you go, turn down the light
When you leave me alone and in darkness
No one's here to hold you in the night
No one is there to comfort you when you feel lonely
When you think you're on your own
When you feel like you have no one else to turn to
I'm still coming home!
I'll always be there for you
When our picture fades in the sun
When our memories become distant and unclear
And all the colors blur in the one
And all the differences become indistinguishable
When your all gets blinded
When you can't see the way forward anymore
When you fold with the cards
When life becomes too tough to handle
No, I'll never stop fighting
I'll never give up on you
To get to where you are!
To be there with you, no matter what
Wherever we go
No matter where we are
When the lights are faded to black
When all hope seems lost
Only stars are guiding me back
I'll look to the stars for guidance
When you think you're on your own
When you feel like you have no one else to turn to
I'm still coming home
I'll always be there for you
When you think you're on your own
When you feel like you have no one else to turn to
I'm still coming home
I'll always be there for you

When my heart is ready to burst,
When the world spins in reverse
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you go, to turn down the light
No one's here to hold you in the night
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
When our picture fades in the sun
And all the colors blur into one
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
When your hope gets blinded
When you fold with the cards
No, I'll never stop fighting
To get to where you are
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
When the lights are faded to black
Only stars are guiding me back
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
When you think you're on your own
I'm still coming home
