Justice
Up & Running Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I'm losin' my mind
And I check myself 'cause I'm staring.
But I would rather be blind
If I couldn't see that there's just no comparing.

I don't want you walkin' away
So don't leave I need ya to stay
I can't breath but what can I say

Whooohooo

I got you inside of my head
My heart's beatin' out of my chest
But some things are better unsaid

Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it

Words don't do you justice
So call me a liar
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice

Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice

You got that look in your eyes
Like you've been runnin' from something
We all got demons inside
But a girl like you should be ashamed of nothin'

I don't want you walkin' away
So don't leave I need ya to stay
I can't breathe but what can I say

Whooohooo

I got you inside of my head
My heart's beating outta my chest
but some things are better unsaid

Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it

Words don't do you justice
So call me a liar
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice

Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice

Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
Words don't do you justice

I can't help it
No, I can't help it
'Cause I just felt it
So I can't help it

(NO, NO!)
I can't help it
(Noooooo ohhhh)
No I can't help it
(Ahhhhhh)
'Cause I just felt it
(Nahhhhh)

Words don't do you justice
Gotta see to believe it
(see to believe it)
'Cause I can't describe the way I feel
But I know I feel it

Words don't do you justice
(Whooohooo)
So call me a liar
(Whooohooo)
There's nothing I can say or do
So I keep quiet
Words don't do you justice
(JUSTIIIIICEEE)

Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo
(Gotta see to believe it)
Words don't do you justice

Whooohooo, Whooohooo
Do you justice
Whooohooo




(Noooooo ohhhh)
Words don't do you justice

Overall Meaning

The opening lines convey a feeling of confusion and desperation, with the singer feeling like they are losing their mind and struggling to make sense of their emotions. They express a desire to remain blind to certain truths rather than face the harsh reality of their situation, emphasizing the depth of their feelings and the difficulty of expressing them.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that words are inadequate to describe the intensity of the emotions being experienced. The singer feels a deep connection to someone, but struggles to articulate their feelings effectively, resorting to silence as a way to convey the complexity of their emotions. The repetition of the phrase "Words don't do you justice" underscores the idea that some feelings transcend language and can only be truly understood through experience and observation.


The lyrics also touch on themes of insecurity and vulnerability, as the singer expresses a fear of abandonment and a longing for the object of their affection to stay.

Feels like I'm losin' my mind
I feel overwhelmed and confused


And I check myself 'cause I'm staring
I reflect on my actions because I'm captivated


But I would rather be blind
I'd prefer not to see


If I couldn't see that there's just no comparing
Unless I realize there's nothing to compare it to

I don't want you to leave


So don't leave I need ya to stay
Please don't go, I need you here


I can't breath but what can I say

Words cannot fully describe you


Gotta see to believe it
You have to witness it to understand


I got you inside of my head
You are on my mind constantly

Therefore, I remain silent


You got that look in your eyes
There is a certain intensity in your gaze


Like you've been runnin' from something
It seems like you are trying to escape


We all got demons inside
We all have inner struggles


But a girl like you should be ashamed of nothin'
You have nothing to be ashamed of


I can't help it
I cannot control it


'Cause I just felt it
Because I just experienced it
