Elephant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just wanting to give up everything
Just a kid looking to be loved
There's days where I wanna feel alive
But death's a colorful reminder
Of the wings I'd get to free myself
I'm not asking for a superman saving
I just need someone to see through my heart
I'm always running, running away when I'm awake
I'm always running from who I am
I'm always running from who I've been
I'm always running, and I can't seem to stop
There's days where I lay in bed
Just wanting to give up everything
Just a kid looking to be loved
There's days where I wanna feel alive
But death's a colorful reminder
Of the wings I'd get to free myself
I'm not asking for a superman saving
I just need someone to see through my heart
I'm always running, running away in my dreams
I'm always running, running away when I'm awake
I'm always running from who I am
I'm always running from who I've been
I'm always running, and I can't seem to stop
I'm not asking for a superman saving
I just need someone to see through my heart
I'm always running, running away in my dreams
I'm always running, running away when I'm awake
I'm always running from who I am
I'm always running from who I've been
I'm always running, and I can't seem to stop
