On the Run
Tina Dickow Lyrics

I wake in the morning with one thing on my mind
As soon as I wake up, I am filled with the determination to start my day filled with new adventures and challenges.

To get up on my feet and be on my way
I am eager to leave my comfort zone and take on the world. The desire to explore new horizons motivates me to get out of my bed and step out of my house.

The wide roads are calling and I’m running out of time
I feel compelled to hit the road, and I know that I cannot afford to waste any more time. The open expanse of the road beckons me to embark upon new experiences and encounters.

To make the most of this exciting day
Each day is precious and full of fresh opportunities to be seized. I will not be held back by my fears or doubts, but instead will make the most of the opportunities that come my way.

Everybody’s gotta end up somewhere
No matter who you are, you will eventually reach your destination. What matters is how you choose to get there and the experiences you have along the way.

I’m just taking my time to get there
There's no need to rush the journey; the experiences acquired along the way are what count the most. Therefore, I'm not in a rush, and I'm taking my time to explore new lands, new cultures, and new people.

And it looks like freedom and it smells like fun
The unpredictability of travel is exciting, and the unknown path set out before me is an adventure in itself, with the prospect of new experiences and meeting great people.

But it feels like being on the run
Even as I pursue my dreams, I feel like I'm caught in the middle of the chaos and the thrill of the unknown. Just like a fugitive, I'm always on the move, evading the chains of conformity to seize the opportunities that await me.

The haunting sound of chords I’ve yet to play
I hear the voice of my soul beckoning me to experience new creative adventures, and I know that there are still new musical pieces to be written and harmonies to be discovered.

It sounds like a warning that maybe I should stay in bed
Anxiety creeps in, and I wonder if I should slow down or stay on the side-walk of life's journey. Maybe it's better to avoid facing the unknown, and just stick to a routine life.

Before these winding roads lead my astray
As much as uncertainty and unpredictability in life are exhilarating, it can also lead me astray - diverting my attention onto less productive and less meaningful routes. I seek to remain focused on my journey and navigate the route cautiously.

Somewhere there’s a place for us, a place for us
I believe that there's a perfect spot destined for each of us, a place to belong, to rest, and to live. I keep on exploring, and I keep on walking confidently, knowing that I will eventually find that perfect place.

Where?
Wherever that place may be, I will keep searching until I find it.

And it looks like freedom and it smells like fun
The search is open-ended and full of hope. Just like youth is full of new experiences, the journey ahead looks like an adventure filled with freedom and fun.

But it feels like being on the run
But also, keeping in mind that the journey remains a roller coaster, with its ups and downs, disappointment and excitement, and I sometimes feel like a fugitive on the run evading hurdles and obstacles along the way.
