I Will Run To You
Stevie Nicks w/ Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Lyrics

You and I will meet again
The singer shares her belief that she and someone special will cross paths again in the future.

When we're least expecting it
The singer expects their reunion to occur unexpectedly when they are not prepared for it.

One day in some far off place
The singer imagines a location far away from where they are now as the setting of their next meeting.

I will recognize your face
The artist believes she will immediately recognize the person she is destined to meet again.

I won't say good-bye my friend
Despite any challenges or separation in the meantime, the artist assures her friend that their bond remains and they will meet again.

I heard you singing to no one
The singer observed the person she hopes to see again reveling in their joy of song, even when no one else was around to appreciate it.

I saw you dancing all alone
Similarly, the singer saw this person dancing in blissful solitude and indulging in the music they love.

One day you belonged to me
At one point, the artist and the person she seeks to meet again had a close relationship or intimacy together.

Next day I just wouldn't know
However, something happened to tear them apart or make the artist uncertain of the person's whereabouts or identity.

Someday all the rules will bend
The artist anticipates a future in which conventional boundaries or limitations no longer apply, allowing for more freedom and possibility.

And you and I will meet again
Altogether, this forecast is that the two people will inevitably come back into each other's lives.

I've got a feeling
The artist is expressing intuition or presentiment.

I've got a feeling so strong
The manifestation of this intuition is overpowering and unshakeable.

Maybe someday our paths will cross
The singer is hopeful that fate will eventually bring them back together.

A red-winged hawk is circling
The presence of this wild bird suggests the possibility of divinely ordained intervention or prophecy.

The blacktop stretches out for days
The setting of a seemingly endless road symbolizes the infinite possibilities of destiny and time.

How could I get so close to you
The artist is confused or frustrated by how much they felt connected to this person before they lost touch.

And still feel so far away?
Despite this, the distance between them seems immense and insurmountable.

I hear a voice come on the wind
Once again, natural elements indicate that some transcendent or mystical force may be at play.

Sayin' you and I will meet again
This voice is reinforcing the artist's intuition and providing a reassuring prophecy about their reunion.

I don't know how, I don't know when
Still, the artist admits to uncertainty and a lack of control over the timing and method of their next meeting.

But you and I will meet again
Regardless, the artist is certain that their connection will continue and that they will have the chance to see this person once more.
