Run On Love
Lucas Nord featuring Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I committed treason
I can't believe I caved for you
So I am now a failure
Everything I gave ya'
That's the low for live like you
Jump inside each other
Now you say it's a beautiful thing
Hope we live forever
Doesn't sound too clever
Works as my protective wing
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'till it dies
'Till it dies again
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'till it dies
'Till it dies again
Together we fall
I had one mission
But I committed treason I promised
I would stay away
From you and your bad tricks
You were my quick fix
I can feel it fade away
Suddenly the day came
e started to place blame
Driving us right out of our hands
You say it's my error
I say look in the mirror
The reason why our flame is dead
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'till it dies
'Till it dies again
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'till it dies
I always go back to you
I always go back
I always go back to you
I always go back
I always go back to you
I always go back
I always go back to you
Together we fall
The lyrics of Lucas Nord/Tove Lo's song "Run On Love" portray a relationship that's clearly troubled. At the beginning of the song, the singer admits to having a specific mission - however, they ultimately end up committing treason. It's unclear what this mission was originally, but the singer says that they can't believe they caved for their partner. In short, they're admitting to having betrayed themselves in order to be with the person they love. They also acknowledge that all that effort was for naught, and that they feel like a failure.
Later on, the lyrics reveal that the couple feels like they can't function without each other. They "jump inside each other" without bothering to question the consequences, and seem to take comfort in the idea of a love that lasts forever. However, they also acknowledge that this isn't necessarily a smart decision. They say that running on love doesn't sound too clever, and imply that it's like a protective wing. It's almost as if the love they share is a replacement for something else they're missing in their lives. Eventually, things start falling apart, and they begin to place blame on each other. The singer acknowledges that they always end up going back to their partner, even though things inevitably fall apart again.
Overall, the lyrics of "Run On Love" are a warning against becoming too dependent on a relationship. The singer admits to having betrayed themselves to be with their partner, and implies that their love is a poor substitute for something else. While they clearly still have feelings for each other, they also know that their relationship is ultimately doomed.

I promised
I made a promise
I would stay away
To stay away from you
From you and your bad tricks
From you and your manipulations
You were my quick fix
But you were my temporary solution
I can feel it fade away
I can feel our love fading away
Suddenly the day came
Suddenly, things changed
We started to place blame
We began blaming each other
Driving us right out of our hands
We lost control of our relationship
You say it's my error
You say I'm the one to blame
I say look in the mirror
But I think you should take a closer look at yourself
The reason why our flame is dead
The reason why our love is gone
I always go back to you
I keep coming back to you
Together we fall
And we keep failing together

I had one mission
But I committed treason
Can't believe I caved for you
So I am now a failure
Everything I gave ya
Let's elope and live like you
Trapped inside each other
We don't even bother
Naive, say it's a beautiful thing
Hope we live forever
Doesn't sound too clever
Works as my protective wing
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'til it dies
'Til it dies again
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love for a while
We can run on love 'til it dies
'Til it dies again
And together we fall
I had one mission
But I committed treason
Promised I would stay away
From you and your bad tricks
You are my quick fix
I can feel it fade away
Suddenly the day came
We started to place blame
Driving us right out of our heads

This actually made me cry because this is exactly what breaking up looks like, you just keep remembering everything, all of these moments and scenes, and things that made you fall in love, just seeing that person's face and thinking "damm i love you", remembering all these magical everlasting moments and also remembering the fights and the relationship going downhill until you find that person with someone else and you just dont know what to do. In that case i wouldnt pour a beer on them thats for sure lol
