On the Run
Bryce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just another heartbreak
In the middle of summer
But it's fine
Yeah I'm already over it
But my friends said they saw you
In the car with him last night
And that made me sick
Are your wrapping your lips
Around another while I'm crying
Thinking bout all the memories
That we made
All the memories that we made
Did you forget me babe
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose
So I can run right back
To you
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose
So I can run right back
To you
So you found somebody
With a nice car
With a nice house
And a nice dad too
And the first two I can compete
But the last
You're an asshole
Yeah fuck you
I'm kidding
I'm going a bit manic
He's touching you in places
That I used to I can't stand it
I really can't stand it
Did you fucking plan this?
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose
So I can run right back
To you
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose
So I can run right back
To you
And everybody In the club
Around me's bringing me
Down, Down, Down
And a party ain't a party
Without you so I shouldn't
Have left my house
And if this new guy's really that cool
Then tell me why?
Why would I not be surprised
If I was still
On your mind
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
On your mind
On your mind
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Please don't say it's over
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose
So I can run right back
To you
I don't wanna end
I don't wanna get closure
Want open my eyes
Can't accept that it's over
If I can't win
Then I hope he'll lose




So I can run right back
To you

This ballpark is 10x louder now than it was in 08 and 09 when the Phils made back to back World Series. It’s unreal how raucous that crowd is!

Incredible energy. Wish I was there.
