Run For Cover
Blitz Kids Lyrics

Hey!
The singer is trying to catch the attention of the listener

Lover lover, run run for cover Lover lover, run run for cover Left a bad taste in my mouth You left my whole head Full of doubt
The singer is warning their lover to run away to avoid the bad taste left by their relationship

Lover lover, you're starting to smother There's a green look in your eye Your tongue is lashing my pride
The singer is feeling suffocated in the relationship, and their lover's behavior is hurting their pride and making them feel insecure

Just because we share a ring Doesn't mean you don't know How to make me scream, Like no one else
The singer is highlighting that sharing a wedding ring doesn't necessarily mean a good relationship, and their partner can still hurt them emotionally

Just because we share a place Doesn't necessarily make us safe There's plenty else
The singer is emphasizing that living together doesn't equate to safety in the relationship, and there are other factors involved

Time will test and try We need to learn to savour It passes in the blink of an eye We'll be alright I've got your initials Tattooed on my knuckles for life
The singer is advising that time can put a relationship to the test, but it's essential to cherish it while it lasts. They're committed to the relationship, as seen by their tattoo of their partner's initials.

Four winters and five summers You can stop me if I'm wrong But you knew this all along
The singer is reflecting on the ups and downs of their relationship, and they believe their partner was fully aware of its problems

Calm down, calm down You don't wanna hear it Good things don't come for free And the price you pay Is time away from me
The singer is urging their partner to calm down and listen to their advice that relationships take work, and they have to invest time and effort into them

I've got a brand new rule for you If you dish it out You've gotta learn to take it
The singer is telling their partner that they have to be able to handle criticism and not just give it out

Just because we share a bed Doesn't mean you listen to a word I say A word I say
The singer is frustrated as their partner doesn't seem to pay attention to them despite sharing the same bed

Time will test and try We need to learn to savour It passes in the blink of an eye We'll be alright I've got your initials Tattooed on my knuckles for life
The singer is repeating that time can be challenging, and relationships require effort, but they believe they'll make it through with their partner, as demonstrated by their tattoo.
