Runnin'
H.I.S.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
I keep runnin back to you
I try to refrain
But your nectar's so sweet and savoury
I keep runnin back to you
Here we go again
Drunk, I end up at your door and refuse to believe the end
Was months ago but listen I think I just need a friend
To talk to for a bit, and I know you know you know me like
No one else, I know it ain't right but give me the night
I know it's a lot to ask of you, but don't you think you owe me this
Hand written letter in my pocket, remember when you wrote me this
Sealed it with a kiss and a spray of Chanel
You know you broke me when you told me this
Talk about you leaving me
Told me to my face you don't ever know what you seen in me
How you don't wanna see me again
Saddest part, I knew I needed you then
Spent a couple weeks tryna figure out where me and you went
Say there ain't no us no more
Something 'bout how you ain't got no trust no more
You the best thing that ever happened to me girl
And I ain't tryna front no more
This visit isn't innocent
I just need to let you know that every time you cross my mind I'm
Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
I keep runnin back to you
Runnin back to you
I try to refrain
But your nectar's so sweet and savoury
I keep runnin back to you
But there's nothing to run back to
Should have known in your life I'm no longer a factor
Tell me how you moved on, you know you didn't have to
You should have known that I'd come back
With you there's nothing after
You closed the book on our chapter
Amaretto on my lips
I taste you every time there's amaretto on my lips
I'm suffering withdrawal while you ain't suffering at all
Not that I wish that you would
Baby, I always think about you
There's just something about you
That feeds my very soul and I wither away without you
Girl I'm dying here
You already see me crying here
You know I don't shed tears for nothing and they runnin
Even apart, if I heard you in trouble then I'm coming
Ain't no questioning
Run the paths of my mind like a pedestrian
Mama told me there's some kind of lesson in everything
What's the lesson here
Slipping into depression here
I just need to let you know that every single time that you cross my mind I'm
Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
I keep runnin back to you
Runnin back to you
I try to refrain
But your nectar's so sweet and savoury
I keep runnin back to you
You're something like a habit I can't kick
Rehab can't save me
I stay itching for that fix
The elixir
Of your very being on my tongue is all I want
It's all I need
Like you're my drug
Like I'm your fiend
This empty dream they selling me
It gets better they telling me
How could the same thing that's tempting me be my remedy
How could the same thing that's killing me give me life
Everything we were meant to be
Is branded in my memory
More often than not I'm
Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
I'm ready to give into my desire
Inhale your essence just to reach the high that I require
And I like it there so I'ma stay
Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
Take a hit and let it sink in
Give it an hour I'll be
Runnin back to you
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do
Ahh
Ooh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh ohh
Ohh, ohh
Ooh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh ohh
Ohh, ohh
Stuck in my past
Bout to relapse
I keep runnin back to you
Stuck in my past




Bout to relapse
I keep runnin back to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of H.I.S.D.'s song "Runnin' Back to You" convey a sense of longing and addiction to a past relationship. The singer acknowledges that they are stuck in their past and on the verge of relapse, constantly finding themselves returning to the person they can't seem to let go of. Despite their efforts to refrain, the allure of their ex-lover's "nectar," which is described as both sweet and savory, keeps pulling them back.


The lyrics also reveal a deep sense of emotional pain and vulnerability. The singer admits to being drunk and ending up at their ex's door, desperately seeking solace and friendship. They reflect on the past, mentioning a hand-written letter, a reminder of the love and intimacy they once shared. The singer feels broken by their ex's cold dismissal, yet they still hold onto the hope of rekindling their relationship, believing that they deserve at least one more night together.


Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the absence of their ex and the void they've left. The mention of amaretto on their lips serves as a sensory trigger, as it reminds them of the taste of their former lover. The lyrics express a longing for the past, contradicting the idea that there is nothing left to go back to. The intensity of the emotions portrayed in the song reflects the struggle of letting go of a love that feels like a drug, something addictive yet destructive.
