Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running to the future
With you right by my side
Me, I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
Help me up, let's keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
[Chorus]
Running Running as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it
(Do you think we'll make it)
Running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
Be, Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so hard to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up
[Chorus: Repeats]

one of the MOST underrated No Doubt songs, this is absolutely one of my very favorites
@thepancakereviewer
Underrated? I don't know if I would say that this is played very frequently on the radio as well as overhead at grocery stores.

Thank god or it’d be overplayed
