Running to You
F.G.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I don't think about you
Wishing I could find a way
To turn back time and re-do
It was such a big mistake
To fall in love without you
Impossible for me to erase
I can try
To pretent
It was a game
I can try
To pretent
There is no pain
But in my dreams
I keep on running back to you
Cause in my dreams
I keep on running back to you
And in my dreams
I keep on running back to you
In my dreams
I keep on running back to you
There is not a single night
That I don't think about us
It's dangerous but feel so right
My sanity is fading fast
Waiting for your text at times
A smily face, or invite
Lusting for your body type
Platonic love ain't right
I can try
To pretent
It was a game
I can try
To pretent
There is no pain
I can try
To pretent
You're only a name
I can try
To forget
This love's insane
But in my dreams
I keep on running back to you
Cause in my dreams
I keep on running back to you
And in my dreams
I keep on running, I keep on running back to you
In my dreams
I keep on running back to you
The lyrics of "Running To You" by F.G.G. depict a sense of longing and regret for a past love that still burns brightly within the singer's heart. The opening lines express the constant presence of the person in their thoughts, wishing they could go back in time and make different choices. The admission of a mistake in falling in love without the other person suggests a deep sense of loss and perhaps a feeling of incompleteness without them.
The repeated refrain of "I can try to pretend it was a game" highlights the internal struggle the singer faces in trying to rationalize their feelings and bury the pain of missing this person. The repetition of the lines creates a sense of desperation and denial, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they can move on and forget about their love for the other person. However, the constant reference to dreams in which they keep running back to this individual signifies that their emotions are deeply ingrained and cannot be easily ignored or suppressed.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's hope for reconciliation, as they mention waiting for texts and yearning for physical connection with the person. This portrays a sense of vulnerability and need for validation from the object of their affection, despite understanding that their love might not be reciprocated in the same way. The juxtaposition of lusting for the person's body type while acknowledging that a platonic relationship is not enough showcases the complexity of their emotions and desires.
Overall, "Running To You" captures the bittersweet agony of unrequited love and the struggle to move on from a past relationship that continues to haunt the singer's thoughts and dreams. The song conveys a sense of internal conflict, yearning, and the eternal hope that perhaps one day their love will be returned, even as they acknowledge the impossibility of erasing their feelings for this person.
