Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I do I don't know when
So I'll just pretend you still love me
All my friends will say
The pain will go away
But, that's the price you'll pay for leaving
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running
Everybody knows
That love can come and go
I never thought I'd throw it all away
Every single night
When I turn out all the lights
I make believe that I'm beside you
I want to come running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running
I know I don't have the right
But, I keep wondering where you are
Ad I, I want you to know
That you're always inside me
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running
