Run Forever
Emma Ruth Rundle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on my love and show it to me
Never as close and there's nowhere I'd be
Be by your side say true love
Oh true love, just that no one can see
If we both get caught then we'll run forever
Come on my love take cover with me
We can be gone and there's no one we need
Over the day say who knows
Well who else knows
Yet there's no one we need
If we both get caught then we'll run forever
If we both go down we go down together
If we both get caught then we'll run forever
If we both go down we go down together
Just as soon
Just a force like you
Just as soon
Just a force passing through
Just as soon as a little blood that's missed
Just as soon as a kiss
Wait for me just like that
Wait for me just like that
Wait for me like that
Wait for me like that
If we both get caught then we'll run forever
If we both go down we go down together




If we both run now then we'll run forever
If we both go down we go down together

I want a 10 hour loop of this song to listen to all day depressed in bed.

radanju3

@keir farnum Yeah, but the only difference is I'm trying to hear a continuous loop rather than the song ending and restarting if you understand what I mean.

To which in this case I can easily do on my music editor I have on my PC.

keir farnum

Just hit the loop function on your video.
