Formed in 2004, The Cab consists of members Alex DeLeon (vocals), Joey Thunder (bass guitar), Chantry Johnson (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Dave Briggs (drums, percussion). They gained popularity through the music-sharing platform MySpace, where their demos and early releases attracted a growing fanbase.
In January 2006, The Cab signed to the local label Olympus Records; however, they did not release any material during this period. After they handed a demo to Panic! at the Disco's Spencer Smith and Jon Walker at a show featuring Cobra Starship, Boys Like Girls, and Cartel. Smith helped the band to sign with Decaydance Records in May 2007.
Over the years, The Cab continued to refine their sound, blending elements of pop, rock, and R&B into their music. They released EPs like "Symphony Soldier" and "Lock Me Up," further showcasing their versatility and evolving musical style.
In an interview with All Access, Alexander DeLeon stated that the band was currently going on hiatus, as he worked as a solo artist under the name Bohnes. DeLeon hinted that there could be a potential return for The Cab in the future. In January of 2020, a new song was teased on X, accompanied with an announcement of a new album in development.
I'll Run
The Cab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these things they force you to do aren't fair
I'm here to chase away these tears
And baby we can chase away these fears
Because sometimes baby you fall on your back
But girl you're three times the lady I'll ever have
And you know, you know it's true
(And) I'll run
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
(And) I'll run
This is wear we both break free
I'll bring you home
I can hear it in your voice, you care
Let me run my fingers through your hair
I'll keep you company at night
And baby I'm here to make this right
Because sometimes baby you fall on your back
But girl you're three times the lady I'll ever have
And you know, you know it's true
This is a fight I refuse to lose
(And) I'll run
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
(And) I'll run
This is wear we both break free
I'll bring you home
Believe me and don't think twice
(And) don't leave me or say goodbye
Believe me, believe me tonight
If you have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
If you have a little faith in me
The Cab's song "I'll Run" is a soulful and impassioned pledge of loyalty and protection from the singer to his lover. The lyrics begin by acknowledging that the lover is scared and overwhelmed by the demands and pressures of the world, and the singer vows to be there for her to "chase away these tears" and "chase away these fears." He urges her to have faith in him and promises to never lose the fight to keep her safe and secure.
The chorus reinforces this message, proclaiming that the singer will "run" to his lover's side whenever she needs him, and that together they will both break free from their troubles and find their way home. The second verse deepens the sense of intimacy and closeness between the two lovers, with the singer soothing his lover's anxieties and offering comfort and reassurance in the form of his touch and presence. The final lines of the song urge the lover to believe in the singer's love and devotion, and to have faith in him as their shared refuge from the storms of life.
Overall, "I'll Run" is a powerful and heartfelt expression of a lover's commitment to protect and support their partner against all odds, and a testament to the enduring power of love and faith.
