Thinking Out Loud
Kid Runner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's fine now.
Just got a little bit over my head
It's not like you
Wanted this to be more than it is.
We'll let it slide on down.
Watch it fade away.
It makes more sense
If I keep my words buried beneath the ground.
It's funny but
It goes better when I'm not making a sound.
You know me so well…you know me so well.

I want it and I need it
And I'll take it now.
This obsession that I'm feeling
Is kicking me down.
And I'm falling while you're talking.
It's a beautiful sound.
I'm sorry now, don't mind me.
I'm thinking out loud.
My veins,
They carry ways and a reason for staying true.
My blood,
It keeps me going even after my mind is through.
But you ruined me inside and out.
And I've run right past the point
Of turning back, don't get me wrong.
I'm just so paranoid of all of this
It's been too long.
And you think you know me well, you know me so well.

This obsession that I'm feeling
Is kicking me down.
And I'm falling while you're talking.
It's a beautiful sound.
I'm sorry now, don't mind me.
I'm thinking out loud.

I've got a reason for telling you everything about me
Now I see
You've got your reasons for keeping me in the dark.
I'm feelin' uneasy
The minute you walked into my life, I knew it was
Too good, too easy for you to go break my heart.

I want it and I need it
And I'll take it now.
This obsession that I'm feeling
Is kicking me down.
And I'm falling while you're talking.
It's a beautiful sound.




I'm sorry now, don't mind me.
I'm thinking out loud.
