Runnin'
Sekond Lyrics

22 years of running
After over two decades of constantly moving and trying to escape, I reflect on how it relates back to you.

Makes me think back to you
This constant running reminds me of the past and how it intertwines with you.

And now it brings me to my knees
The realization and weight of it all is overwhelming, causing me to feel defeated.

All those things you want in me
You had expectations and desires for me, and they still linger within my thoughts.

In the season of emotion
Within this current period of intense feelings and experiences,

The winter's too damn long
The duration of this emotional winter feels unbearably extended.

And it's so hard for me sometimes
At times, it becomes incredibly challenging for me.

Please god, let this pass me by
I plea to a higher power, hoping that this will eventually fade away without affecting me further.

When I go home
Upon returning to my place of comfort and familiarity

All I fucking saw
All that greeted me was

Was the crow and tombstone
The presence of a crow and a tombstone

But that's alright
However, I have come to accept that

Because that's not me
Because that image does not define or represent who I am.

Oh, when I come home
Oh, upon my return to my sanctuary

And that's alright
And I've come to terms with the fact that

Better leave me be
It's best to just let me be and not disturb or intervene in my journey.

Running on
Continuing to move forward

Yeah, I keep running on
Yes, I persist in running despite the challenges.

Well, it's 42 years of running
After an extensive period of 42 years constantly in motion

You know I've worn down some shoes
It's evident that I have physically exhausted numerous pairs of shoes from all the running.

And now it brings me to my knees
And now, it forces me down to the ground, overwhelmed with the weight of it all.

Buy the things you want in me
As a result of the desires and expectations you had for me

By the seasons on the ocean
In a similar manner to the changing seasons on the open sea

Winter's too damn long
The winter season feels unbearably prolonged.

And it's so hard for me sometimes
At times, it becomes extremely difficult for me to endure.

Oh god, let this pass me by
I implore a higher power, begging for this to fade away without impacting me any further.

When I go home
When I return to my place of solace and familiarity

All I fucking saw
All that greeted me upon arrival

Was the crow and tombstone
Was the sight of a crow perched upon a tombstone

But that's alright
But I've come to accept that

Because that's not me
Because that does not define who I am.

Oh, when I come home
Oh, upon my return to my sanctuary

All I fucking saw
All that I witnessed

Was the crow in tombstone
It was the presence of a crow resting upon a tombstone

And it's so hard for me to apologize
And it becomes incredibly difficult for me to express regret or seek forgiveness.

Just to make you smile you see
All in an effort to bring a smile to your face, you understand.

And you've got to hold on to your love
You must cling to your love and not let go of it

Because when your heart lets go you're fucked
Because once your heart releases that love, you are in a disastrous situation.

And I can feel you everyday, yeah
And I feel your presence every day, yes.

Was the crow and tombstone, take me away
The image of the crow and tombstone serves as a reminder of my desire to be free from it all.

I keep rolling on
I continue moving forward, not letting anything hold me back.

Well you've got to hold on to your love
You need to grasp onto your love and not let go

Because when your heart lets go you're fucked
Because once you lose that love, you are in a detrimental state.

And I can feel you every day, yeah
And I sense your presence each and every day, yes.

Was the crow and tombstone take me away
The presence of the crow and tombstone serves as a longing to escape from it all.
