One
Thomas Lemmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh

I run run run
this time I won't come undone done done
You've got everything you need why me?
But you are staying close on my heels

So I run run run
try as fast as I can can can
hard to keep moving at all nor to fall
but I can't wait to escape my cage

I could die for you
I could hide from you
but I don't want to
anymore anymore

I could fight for you
I could lie for you
but I don't want to
anymore anymore

I run keep running
still racing for my life
You're still coming to shut me down and chase my mind
You're still trying
Try to come and pull me back in

But I don't want it
But I don't want it
anymore

I could die for you
I could hide from you
but I don't want to
anymore anymore

I could fight for you
I could lie for you
but I don't want to
anymore anymore

Catch me if you can but I don't think you're fast enough
Test me if you can but I don't think you're bold enough
Set a trap for me and I'll trap you instead

I run run run
as fast as I can can can
hard to keep moving at all nor to fall
but I can't wait to escape my cage

I could die for you
I could hide from you
but I don't want it
but I don't want it
anymore

I could
I could
I could




I could die for you
but I don't want to
