love race
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na, da, da, da

I found a silver ring
And put it on my finger
I picked up my guitar
And played it for the Reaper
God was a girl
The devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game
And they were kissing in the bleachers

I don't want to be without you
But I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (to get back)
To get back to you

I got a special ring
And put it on her finger
A voice said suddenly
"You're never gonna keep her"
Please don't look behind us
The past is trying to catch up
Pressures from outside us
I've got claustrophobia

I don't want to be without you
But I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (to get back)
To get back to you

God was a girl
The devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game
And they were kissing in the bleachers
God was a girl
The devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game
And they were kissing in the bleachers

I'm on the run
(I'm on the run, let's go)

I'm on the run (to get back to you)
I'm on the run (to get back to you)
To get back to you (to get back)
To get back to you

I don't want to be without you
But I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
To get back to you
To get back to you
Let's go
Yeah
To get back to you
Uh, to get back, to get back
To get back to you

No, no, no, no




No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

The song opens with him finding a silver ring and playing the guitar for the Reaper. The chorus of the song repeats the line, "I'm on the run, to get back to you," which helps to emphasize the desperation felt by the singer as he attempts to reunite with his lover.

The bridge of the song describes the singer's relationship with his lover as well as their struggles.

The chorus then repeats again before the song ends with a final repetition of the line, "to get back to you."

This song sounds good but is disrespectful to God. It's sad that anybody would sing these lyrics, but that's what happens when people sell out to Luciferian (old world Satanic) billionaire recording companies.

First plan on the new world order Georgia Guidestones is for 93% of all people to be disappeared.(That includes blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asians, Christians...and Democrats too.)

All atheist nations end up in poverty and under tyranny, unless helped by Christianized nations. Our nation will soon fail due to the growth of atheism. If you are hoping to make it into the final 7%, realize there will be no trust left. It will be easy for Satan and his billionaire Rothschild helper to continue dividing until there is only one childless Rothschild left. Satan hates humanity and tricks people just like he tricked Adam and Eve.

God will not bend to man's ways. You need to do better!

Jesus said, ”and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

LYRICS 🖤💕
Da, da, da, da
I found a silver ring
And put it on my finger
I picked up my guitar
And played it for the Reaper
God was a girl, the devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game and they, were kissing in the bleachers

I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you

I find a special ring
And put it on her finger
A voice said suddenly
"You're never gonna keep her"
Please don't look behind us, the past is trying to catch up
Pressures from outside us, I got claustrophobia

I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you

God was a girl
The devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game and they, were kissing in the bleachers
God was a girl
The devil wore a T-shirt
Love is a game and they, were kissing in the bleachers

I'm on the run (I'm on the run, let's go)
I'm on the run (To get back to you)
I'm on the run (To get back to you)
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you

I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself

I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
To get back to you
To get back to you
Let's go

Yeah
To get back to you
Oh, to get back, to get back
To get back to you
No, no-no, no
No, no-no, no
No, no-no, no

I found a silver ring
And put it on my finger
I picked up my guitar
And played it for the reaper
God was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachers
I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself
I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you
I find a special ring
And put it on her finger
A voice said suddenly
You're never gonna keep her
Please don't look behind us
The past is trying to catch up
Pressures from outside us
I got claustrophobia
I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself
I'm on the run
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
I'm on the run
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you
God was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachers
God was a girl
The devil wore a t-shirt
Love is a game and they
Were kissing in the bleachers
I'm on the run
(I'm on the run, let's go)
I'm on the run (To get back to you)
I'm on the run (To get back to you)
To get back to you (To get back)
To get back to you
I don't want to be without you but
I'm here, screaming by myself
I'm on the run (I'm on the run)
To get back to you
To get back to you
