Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a heartache nippin' at my heels
I'll be hurtin' if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention
Not to mention all my affection
Now she's running away with my heart
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart
No don't tell me 'bout the speed limit
I'll go a million miles a minute
'Til I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what I'd be losin'
That's why I'm doin' what I'm doin'
She's running away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart
She's running away with my heart.
The opening lines of Lonestar's "Runnin' Away With My Heart" sees the singer asking his friend for faster wheels as he's desperately trying to catch up to the girl who has taken his heart. He fears he'll be hurting if she gets too much of a head start, showing the urgency of his need to be with her. The verse then details how the girl in question has stolen his attention and affection, gradually running away with his heart. He's not sure where she's headed, but he knows he wants to be there when the sun goes down, to catch up to her under the moonlight.
The chorus ramps up the sense of desperation, with the singer stating that he'll go "a million miles a minute" if he has to, to catch up to her, even if it means running the wheels of his car right off. He's aware of what he'll lose if he can't catch her, and that's why he's doing what he's doing. The final lines of the chorus reiterate the title of the song, as he realizes that the girl is still running away with his heart, despite everything he's doing to catch up to her.
Overall, "Runnin' Away With My Heart" is a heartfelt song about chasing after love, and the desperation that can come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who's trying to catch up to the woman who has captured his heart, and is willing to do whatever it takes to be with her.
