Crazy To Run
Marie Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She gave him her reasons
She said, it would break her heart
To love without commitment
It would be just, too hard
She gave him an ultimatum
She said he would have to choose
Bewtween freedom and forever
And he didn't want to lose

'Cause he was crazy about her
But he was crazy to run
Wild with the horses
When he knew she was the one

He thought about trying
To leave her and live with pain
He knew the ride just wasn't worth it
But he just couldn't let go of the reins

'Cause he was crazy about her
But he was crazy to run
Wild with the horses
When he knew she was the one

But she agreed reluctantly as he stood there at the door
And when he held her as she said goodbye he just couldn't let her go

Because he was crazy about her
But he was crazy to run
Wild with the horses
When he knew she was the one





Crazy to run
