Run To Me
Lee Towers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it would be
Me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
So darling, you run to me.
And when you´re out in the cold,
No one beside you, and no one to hold,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And when you´ve got nothing to lose,
Nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you´re lonely. (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
So darling, you run to me.
The lyrics of "Run to Me" by Lee Towers revolve around unrequited love and offer a message of emotional support to someone who has been hurt. The opening lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing, has been hurt by someone and the wound has not healed. The singer then poses a rhetorical question of whether or not it's unwise to initiate another romantic relationship. However, as the lyrics progress, the singer reassures the distressed person that they can always seek comfort and support in him. The chorus invites the person to "run" to the singer whenever they need a shoulder to lean on or someone to hold them.
The lyrics have a warm, comforting tone and present an image of a protective, caring and supportive individual who is ready to offer emotional help to anyone in need. The lyrics' message is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always someone who cares for us and who we can turn to for support. The song's reflective tone captures both the uncertainty and hope that come with navigating love and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
If ever you got rain in your heart,
If you have ever been hurt or suffered deep emotional pain,
Someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
Someone caused you significant emotional harm,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Is it risky for me to ask you to love me or to show you how much I love you,
And let it be like they said it would be
To let our relationship be like others expected - full of love and happiness,
Me loving you girl, and you loving me.
For me to love you and for you to love me equally in return,
Run to me whenever you´re lonely. (to love me)
Come to me whenever you feel alone or need affection and love,
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Come to me if you need someone to rely on or confide in,
Now and then, you need someone older,
Occasionally, you need someone wiser or more experienced to guide you and offer advice,
So darling, you run to me.
Therefore, my dear, come to me for support and love whenever you need it,
And when you´re out in the cold,
When you feel isolated, unloved, or in a difficult situation,
No one beside you, and no one to hold,
Without anyone to comfort you or show you love and affection,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Is it foolish of me to ask you to love me, to try and show you how much I care,
And when you´ve got nothing to lose,
When you have reached a point where everything in life seems lost or hopeless,
Nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
With nothing left to live for or to work towards,
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Could it be foolish to ask for your love and show you mine,
Run to me whenever you´re lonely. (to love me)
Come to me whenever you need love and company,
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Come to me if you need someone to lean on or to cry with,
Now and then you need someone older,
Occasionally, you need someone more experienced and wise than you to guide you through life,
So darling, you run to me.
In that case, my dear, come to me whenever you need someone to love and support you.
