Running Out
Denton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found myself floating farther away from home
I found myself searching for another reason that I want to stay
I'm falling down, I'm falling
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
Well I said it before and I'll say it again
When we're both back at home I can't stand it again
I wish our friends weren't the same
Let's be on the same page
I can't stand it, I don't know what you want
To see our friends together, but you and me apart
You pick one or pick nothing
I know my feelings mean something
I'm falling down, I'm falling
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
I'm falling down, I'm falling
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
(I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out)
I'm running out on my options
I'm running out losing so much sleep
I'm running out not an option
I'm running out going in too deep
I'm running out on my options
I'm running out losing so much sleep
I'm running out not an option
I'm running out going in too
I'm running out can't believe me
I'm running out want to see who's there
I'm running out arms are reaching
I'm running out, I'm running out
I'm falling down, I'm falling
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
I'm falling down, I'm falling
I'm falling down, I'm falling
Don't pick me up, this one's for me
(I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out
I'm running out, oh I'm running out)
