Runnin'
Ivie Lyrics

Spinnin' round in circles
Feeling stuck and overwhelmed, unable to break free from a cyclical pattern.

Floating, overloading
Feeling aimless and weighed down by too much going on at once.

I can't stop no, I can't stop no
Feeling powerless to stop the whirlwind of emotions and actions.

Think I might go home
Considering withdrawing from the situation because it feels too intense.

'Cause I can't cross the line
Afraid to push the boundaries and take risks for fear of the consequences.

That I drew for ya, I drew for ya
Setting limits and expectations for the other person, but struggling to uphold them when it comes to it.

You said Don't leave I got a bag of fun We gonna stay up all night long Don't you try to call me on my telephone Yeah you got me like you can't do no wrong
The other person tries to entice and manipulate the singer into staying up all night with them, and making them feel guilty for wanting to leave.

We don't need to play no game We'll go runnin', runnin', runnin' away I'll do anything that you say If we keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away 'Cause lately you got me going crazy And I can't hide it 'cause it stays the same We'll keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away
Choosing to escape reality and run away with the other person, even if it means abandoning responsibilities and rationality.

Loosing all my thoughts You make me feel the way That I could have forseen, I could have foreseen
Feeling disoriented and overwhelmed by the intensity of emotions and sensations brought on by the other person.

Now you're all I need I wanna be inside your darkest everything, darkest everything
Becoming emotionally dependent on the other person, to the point of wanting to explore their deepest, darkest emotions and thoughts.

We don't need to play no game We'll go runnin', runnin', runnin' away I'll do anything that you say If we keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away 'Cause lately you got me going crazy And I can't hide it 'cause it stays the same We'll keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away
Repeating the refrain of choosing to escape reality and run away with the other person, despite the consequences and risks.

We don't need to play no game We'll go runnin', runnin' I can do whatever you say We keep runnin' I'll give you all of me
Continuing to agree to blindly follow the other person's lead and do anything they say, giving up control and autonomy.

We don't need to play no game We'll go runnin', runnin', runnin' away I'll do anything that you say If we keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away 'Cause lately you got me going crazy And I can't hide it 'cause it stays the same We'll keep runnin', runnin', runnin' away
Repeating once again the refrain of choosing to escape reality and run away with the other person, highlighting the sense of obsession and unbreakable cycle between the two.
