Run Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't enrage when I grab this flame
And stand my ground to set a blaze
The path between us is here and there
Just dont forget my name
Birds in the bush have all the fun
That's why there's two instead of one
You might not know where you're headed
Just dont change your pace when you done

Burn burn
Burning bridges down
Turn turn
Turn it all around
Burn burn
Burning bridges down
What are you gonna do?

Decision of the hardest kind
My train of thought my state of mind
Whatever path I must stay true
I must believe in what I do

Steady hands the ashes fall
I've built no bridge I've built wall
As long as I beilive my word
I cannot fail, I cannot fall

Burn burn
Burning bridges down
Turn turn
Turn it all around
Burn burn
Burning bridges down
We turn it all around

Burn Burn Burn
Burning bridges down
Turn turn turn
We turn it all around




Burn burn burn
Burn those bridges down

Crazy to think this song came out over 20 years ago

yup 1995 top 10 pop hit

@WilMcCandlish

Yep, girl refused entry to the bar because she was born in 1974. She would have been 20 when this was released. She is 43 now...

I remember when my dad used to play this for me, just the main strumming pattern, and sing the abc's song to me in time with the melody. When he showed me the actual song, I was blown away and loved it as a kid, and now I'm 19, trying to learn this on the guitar for him to surprise him soon. I love you dad ❤

John Popper was a student of mine at Princeton High School, and his music was already cooking then! I'm glad his band has been so successful! Patricia Thomas

@wyattstevens8574

Awesome!

@kurtissjacobs5618

Did you teach him anything about music? I assume yes, because a high schooler can't know it all, so...do you hear any of what he learned in your class in his music? That would be awesome.
