Runnin
NICO VINZ Lyrics

Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
The singer is warning the listener not to fall in love and to run away from him/her.

Don't want the best of you, but I want the pearl
The singer doesn't want everything the listener has to offer, but just the most valuable part.

Open your treasure and come into my world
The singer wants the listener to share what is most important to him/her and become a part of the singer's life.

You knocking, you knocking, you knocking, your hands are sore
The listener is trying very hard to connect with the artist, but it's not working.

You trying, you trying, you trying the hardest gloves
The listener is making an effort to reach the artist, but their efforts are pointless and ineffective.

You falling, you falling, you dabbing, it's too deep, oh yeah oh yeah
The listener is getting emotionally invested but the singer is warning against it because they will end up hurt.

It ain't your fault, my lady
The listener is not to blame for the situation.

That the time is not for us
The timing is not right for a relationship between the artist and listener.

Don't you go leave me
The artist does not want the listener to leave.

Your presence is way too good
The listener's company is valuable to the artist.

At least I'm honest about it all
The singer is being truthful about their intentions and feelings.

Too little, to love
The artist doesn't feel they have enough to offer in a relationship.

But I've been loving with you loving me
The singer has been enjoying the listener's affection despite their own reservations.

Keep runnin', runnin' from me
The singer wants the listener to keep their distance.

I feel I hate to break it down so cold
The singer doesn't like to speak bluntly and hurtfully.

But I don't wanna give you false hopes
The artist doesn't want to make the listener believe something that isn't true.

Even your friends were saying I'm so wrong
Even the listener's friends disagree with a potential relationship with the artist.

Though I know in my heart you got it
The singer believes the listener is capable of finding the right person for them.

I ain't giving you nothing but lovin'
The singer is only offering affection, not commitment.

At least you where know we stand
The listener will understand the artist's true intentions.

Telling the truth like a gentleman
The artist is trying to be honest and considerate.

I ain't ready to retire
The artist is not ready to settle down in a relationship.

I ain't ready to tie down
The singer is not ready to commit to a long-term relationship.

Even though you take me higher wow
Although the listener makes the artist happy, they are still not ready for a relationship.

Take me high above the ground
The listener makes the singer feel good and happy.

I love the way you, way you
The singer admires the listener's approach to love and connection.

Way you tell me with love
The listener expresses love and affection in a way that the singer appreciates.

Oh but either way, I don't wanna tie down
Despite the listener's positive qualities, the artist is not ready to commit to a relationship.
