Runaround
Little Daylight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just the way that she smiles
She locks you in with her eyes
And in a room with ten men
They all think she's looking at them
You played a record that night
Yeah she got you feeling so high
And then you waited for days
Just to feel it slipping away.

Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!

She got no heart,
It's gonna rip you all apart
Like the hourglass sands
I watched you fall into her hands!
You gotta tell her tonight
Yeah, just get her out of your life
She plays an intricate game,
Don't let her take you away!!

Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Well, she's got games you'll never win,
The key to your heart she holds within
She's leaving you outside looking in,
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!

Well, I hear your call like an S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart!
I hear your voice calling S.O.S.
And I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for you!
Well, I hear your call like an S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart
I hear your voice calling S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart!

Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Well, she's got games you'll never win,
The key to your heart she holds within
She's leaving you outside looking in,
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get




She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!

Overall Meaning
