You Can Run But We'll Find You
Matchbook Romance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you
Have you been keeping secrets from me?
Hoped I wouldn't find out
And you would just go free
There's a whole world besides your window pane
And I've got scars to prove it

But you should've known
You should've known
You should've known
You should've known

Run
You can run
You can run
But we'll find you

Was it everything you hoped it would be?
What kept your world spinning left you dizzy
Your apologies will never soothe the sting
Just keep scratching our eyes out

But you should've known
You should've known
You should've known
You should've known

Run
You can run
You can run
But we'll find you

Run
You can run
You can run
But we'll find you





We'll find you
We'll find you

Overall Meaning

In this song, Matchbook Romance appears to be calling out someone close to them for keeping secrets. The singer of the song seems to have discovered these secrets and is warning the person that they are not going to be able to hide forever. The lyrics suggest that the singer has also endured hardships in their life, as evidenced by their scars. The person in question may have believed they could continue on as if nothing was wrong, but the singer appears to be saying that they should have known better.


The chorus of the song is especially powerful, as it emphasizes the message that the person cannot run from their problems. No matter where they go or what they do, the singer and their group will find them eventually. The final lines of the song are a final warning, suggesting that the person's attempts to hide or ignore their secrets are ultimately futile.


Overall, this song appears to be a call out to someone who has betrayed the trust of the singer, and a warning that they cannot hide from the consequences of their actions forever. By using evocative imagery such as scars and scratching eyes out, Matchbook Romance creates a sense of urgency and anger that makes this song a standout in their discography.
