Run Me Down
Dan Owen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found myself kneeling on the sand
Giving my heart and soul away
But when you took me by the hand
Them blue eyes turned a different shade

I'm ready, my darling
You want it, I've got it
In spades for you
On a plate for you
Wait for me, My baby
Don't leave me, It won't be
Much longer now
I wanna settle down

I'm tired of your running around
Babe you gotta run me down
Better run me down
Run me down
No time for your messing around
Babe you gotta run me down
Better run me down

How long should I put up with you?
Stood at the sideline of your games
So tell me what's a man to do ?
I'll disappear without a trace

I'm ready, my darling
You want it, I've got it
In spades for you
On a plate for you
Wait for me, My baby
Don't leave me, It won't be
Much longer now
I wanna settle down

I'm tired of your running around
Babe you gotta run me down
Better run me down
Run me down
No time for your messing around
Babe you gotta run me down
Better run me down
Run me down

No time for your running around
Babe you gotta run me down
run me down
No time for your messing around




Better run me down
Run me down

Overall Meaning

In "Run Me Down" by Dan Owen, the lyrics describe a relationship where the singer has given their heart and soul away, but the other person is constantly running around and playing games. The opening lines suggest a sense of vulnerability and surrender as the singer finds themselves on their knees, offering everything they have. However, when the other person takes their hand, their blue eyes reveal a change - possibly reflecting a shift in their intentions or emotions.


The repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's frustration and longing for stability and commitment. They express their readiness to settle down and their exhaustion with the other person's behavior. The repeated plea for the other person to "run me down" can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. On one hand, it could be a challenge for the other person to pursue them and chase after the singer's love. On the other hand, it could also mean that the singer wants to be caught and stopped in their own cycle of running away from the unstable relationship.


The lyrics in the second verse reveal the singer's dilemma. They question how long they should put up with the other person's games, and hint at a possible decision to disappear without a trace. The desire for the other person to wait for them and not leave suggests that there may still be hope for the relationship, but the singer needs assurance and commitment.


Overall, "Run Me Down" explores themes of longing for stability, frustration with inconsistency, and the need for commitment and reassurance in a relationship.
