You Got Me Running
J. Reed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you don't have a map?
No one to turn to
Your way feels trapped
You walked up the path
A Point of no return
Close to the edge
Oh when will I learn?You've got me rescued
I've found my way
You've got me rescued
Honey I won't stray
Rescued
You showed me the way
Rescued
Please don't go away
My ticket for one
Now becomes two
Wherever your going
Im going to
Whatever the route
The road or the sky
For the rest of my life
With you I will ride
You've got me rescued
I've found my way
You've got me rescued
Honey I won't stray
Rescued
You showed me the way
Rescued
Please don't go away
And I know that there'll be times
When you and I will wanna run
All the things that we have overcome
Yes we've overcome
You've got me rescued
I've found my way
You've got me rescued
Honey I won't stray
Rescued
You showed me the way
Rescued
Please don't go away
You've got me rescued
I've found my way
You've got me rescued
Honey I won't stray
Rescued
You showed me the way
Rescued
Please don't go away
You've got me rescued
Please don't go away
You've got me rescued
Please don't go away
You've got me rescued
Please don't go away
