Running
Northern Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of you and I felt fine
Whenever you think it's time to
give me a sign, I will find you
I'll be comin'
I come runnin'
I'll be comin'
(Repeat)
The lyrics of "Running" by Northern Lite depict a longing for someone who was once lost but the singer is still searching for them. The initial lines of the song suggest that the singer was confused and couldn't make sense of things, but the thought of the person they are missing kept them feeling fine. The second line of the song indicates that the singer has been missing this person for quite some time, and they are waiting for them to give them a sign, indicating that they've been found. The singer makes that promise to whoever they are searching for that they will always come running whenever they call out for them.
The chorus of the song reveals that the singer will come running whenever the person they are searching for calls out to them. The use of the phrase "I come running" is an indication of the singer's unwavering commitment to whoever is missing, demonstrating that they are willing to go to any length to find them. The chorus of the song also introduces a phrase that could indicate the disconnectedness between the two parties, "it made no sense for a long time," possibly indicating that the singer and the missing person did not have the best of relationships before the latter went missing.
