You Can Run We'll Find You
Matchbook Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Matchbook Romance's song "You Can Run We'll Find You" seem to be about someone who has been keeping secrets from the singer. The opening lines ask if they have been keeping secrets and hoping they wouldn't be found out, but the singer has scars that prove there is a whole world beyond the person's window. The repeated refrain of "you should've known" suggests that the singer believes the person had a chance to come clean and avoid being caught.
The chorus is a warning that the person can run, but they will be found. The second verse continues to describe the aftermath of the person's deceit, as what kept their world spinning has left them dizzy and apologies won't soothe the hurt they have caused. The final repetition of "we'll find you" leaves no doubt that the singer is determined to catch the person and make them face the consequences of their actions.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the importance of honesty and the consequences of betrayal. It tells a story of someone who thought they could keep secrets and avoid the consequences, but ultimately found out that their actions had consequences.

Have you been keeping secrets from me?
Did you hide information from me?
Hoped I wouldn't find out
Thought you could keep it hidden from me
And you would just go free
Without any consequences for your actions
There's a whole world besides your window pane
There are other things happening outside your own life
And I've got scars to prove it
I've been affected by those things
But you should've known
You should have been aware
Run
Escape
You can run
You have the option to flee
But we'll find you
But you won't be able to hide
Was it everything you hoped it would be?
Did your actions provide the expected outcome?
What kept your world spinning left you dizzy
The things happening in your life caused disorientation
Your apologies will never soothe the sting
Saying sorry won't make up for the pain caused
Just keep scratching our eyes out
You continue to cause harm
We'll find you
You will eventually be discovered
