Run to You
Plus One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes when the world
Gets so cold
And my heart
Is fifteen below
And I feel like I'm
So far from home
I run to you
When life doesn't
Go like I planned
So confused and
I don't understand
It's hard 'cause
It's out of my hands
And this is what i do
When I got
Nothing left to give

[Chorus]
I run to you
When I can't find my way
And I get lost in you
When I don't have the faith
When I don't know what to do
I feel I can't make it through
I run to you

So it goes, every life has some rain
Everyone's gotta deal with the pain
But I know how to make it ok
I tell you what I do
When my back's
Up to the wall you know

[Chorus]

You are my light
You're my everything
In a place of chaos you're the
One thing that brings me peace
I'll give my heart, I'll give my all
When I'm beat down
You're always standin' tall

I run to you
I'm so lost in you
When I need you
Oh I need to





[Chorus]
