Run To You
Joel Hirsch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone
in the silence I thought I was strong
but I realized where I got it wrong
‘Cause I don’t have it figured out

Set me free
you showed me who I could be
but without you I’m not really me
my heart knows I need you now

So I run to you
when the world’s too cold
you’re the only truth
that I found
I know I’ll make it through
with your hand to hold
when I see all my castles crashing down
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you

Made of stone
but you broke through and won’t let me go
‘cause you see through me right to my soul
you brought me to life somehow
oh I run to you

I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you

So I run to you
when the world’s too cold
you’re the only truth
that I found
I know I’ll make it through
with your hand to hold




when I see all my castles crashing down
I run to you
