running away
EBEN & Besomorph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pain is feeling passing time
But if she found out about you she would die
And if I have to live without you so would I
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you
Hearts are never made of stone
Pain will cut you to the bone
But I know that holding you is all so wrong
So tonight's the last we'll ever be alone
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now
So I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you
Turn around, fill my eyes with you
All senses to commit
Till everything's all right
So I thirst for the water
I find myself wanting now
So I'm running away
I'm running away to you
I cannot escape you
To feel your touch
The faith you prove
I'm running away to you

Line by Line Meaning
Everyday you're on my mind
I constantly think about you
Pain is feeling passing time
The pain of not being with you is how I spend my time
But if she found out about you she would die
If the person she loves found out about us, it would be devastating for her
And if I have to live without you so would I
Living without you is not an option for me either
So I thirst for the water
I crave you like water
I find myself wanting now
I want you now more than ever
So I'm running away to you
I'm willing to risk everything to be with you
I cannot escape you
I'm so consumed by my feelings for you that I can't escape them
To feel your touch
I want to physically feel you
The faith you prove
I have faith in the love we share
Hearts are never made of stone
Our hearts are not built to be cold and emotionless
Pain will cut you to the bone
The pain of being apart from you is deep and cuts to my core
But I know that holding you is all so wrong
I know that our love is not accepted by society
So tonight's the last we'll ever be alone
We'll seize this moment together because we don't know what the future holds
Turn around, fill my eyes with you
When I see you, I can't look away
All senses to commit
I want to indulge all my senses in the experience of being with you
Till everything's all right
The moment we're together, everything else fades away and everything feels right
I'm running away
I'm taking a risk for love
