Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every time we waited we never knew what we would find
Too much running around you, all I wanted to do
Was get next to you get, get next to you
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Get next to you
Get next to you
Whenever we get too close you always say you're leaving
You taking steps away from me and I keep trailing miles behind
Too much running around you, all I wanted to do
Was get next to you get, get next to you (yeah)
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Next to you yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Run girl I been trying to find you
But I can't work it out
You gotta hold on me, hold on me
Run girl I been trying to find you
But I can't work it out
You gotta hold on me, hold on me
Get next to you

And all the things we wasted to see how we would play in time
We spent a lot of time and resources experimenting to see how we could work together effectively
And every time we waited we never knew what we would find
We never knew what would happen next when we waited for things to happen naturally
Too much running around you, all I wanted to do
I was constantly chasing after you, despite wanting to be near you
Was get next to you get, get next to you
My sole desire was to be as close to you as possible
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You are everything that I require to be happy and fulfilled
Next to you yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Being by your side is the most important thing to me
Whenever we get too close you always say you're leaving
Every time we become deeply connected, you opt to distance yourself
You taking steps away from me and I keep trailing miles behind
As you retreat, I am left trying to catch up and make things work
Run girl I been trying to find you
I have been searching for you relentlessly
But I can't work it out
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to make things right
You gotta hold on me, hold on me
You have a strong grip on me and won't let go
Get next to you
All I want is to be as close to you as possible

Still one of my favourite songs, it’s a weird/ different but there’s something about it I love. LDRU is a very underrated artist, guys got a lot of talent!

I saw this music video on tv like 2 years ago and ever since I’ve been trying to find it, all I could remember was that I was a good song with a weird ass video of a banana man. Finally found it :)
