The power foursome then moved to commune, create and rehearse amongst the famed musical lore of Laurel Canyon. Within two weeks of rehearsals in early 2010, the group quickly began playing local shows and late night speakeasies. Led by timeless vocal tone and presence, small tweed amps, and a mission to move as many people as possible, the band quickly gained a reputation as a high energy and truly mesmerizing live act whose performances feel like down-home revivals with an uptown edge. Sticking to their roots of mid-century original soul music and recording techniques, the band used a lean three-day recording session with full takes and no-frills to turn out 12 new songs a mere two months into the project. With singles like "Gracefully", "Nancy Lee", "Still & Always Will" and "Blues Hand Me Down", the resulting sound brings you back to the days of vinyl records, sweaty juke joints, and the feel and essence of the original soul movement.
Run Outta You
Vintage Trouble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just blew in Again
Whistling through the cracks in my door
I should’ve known, you would show up
When the cuts were not hurtin’ no more
Welcome back baby
Sit on Down
Have a cup of what I have found
Since your love ain’t been around
Baby, you’ve been gone
This time too long
I’ve run outta you
Last candlelight
Flickered and died
Shining on time without you
Tell me how long, how long
Can I go on?
When you’re just gonna do what you’re gonna do.
Welcome back baby
Sit on Down
Sit on Down
Have a Cup of what I have found.
Since your love ain’t been around
Baby, you’ve been gone this time too long
I’ve run outta of you.
I don’t need it.
It’s no good for me.
I can’t bleed it.
Veins gone empty
I’ll repeat it.
It’s no good for me.
It’s no good.
No good.
No good.
Baby, you’ve been gone this time too long
I’ve run outta of you.
Out of you.
Baby, you’ve been gone this time too long
I’ve run outta of you.
Hey.
I’ve run outta you.
I’ve run outta you.
I’ve run outta you.
I’ve run. out you.
Oh Oh. I’ve run outta you.
Out of you.
I can’t take no more
I can’t break no more
Over You
Over You

Look what the wind
I have noticed your sudden and unexpected return
Just blew in Again
You have arrived once more, much like the wind that comes and goes as it pleases
Whistling through the cracks in my door
Your presence is felt even before you enter my door, much like the wind that sneaks in through the smallest openings
I should’ve known, you would show up
I always knew you would return, even though I hoped otherwise
When the cuts were not hurtin’ no more
You have come back now that I have moved on and no longer feel the pain of your absence
Welcome back baby
I am trying to be welcoming even though I know you have caused me pain
Sit on Down
Please take a seat and stay a while
Have a cup of what I have found
Here, have a taste of what I have discovered in your absence
Since your love ain’t been around
During the time you were gone, I found solace in other things besides your love
Baby, you’ve been gone
Your absence has been felt and has caused me great distress
This time too long
Your latest absence has lasted longer than I could handle
I’ve run outta you
I have reached my breaking point and can no longer tolerate your behavior
Last candlelight
The last time we were together and the candle was burning
Flickered and died
The flame of the candle eventually disappeared, much like our relationship
Shining on time without you
The candle was able to burn even after you were gone, showing that I could survive without you
Tell me how long, how long
How much longer do I have to suffer and endure your cycle of leaving and returning?
Can I go on?
Do I have the strength to continue this unhealthy relationship?
When you’re just gonna do what you’re gonna do.
Your actions are unpredictable and I cannot control what you will do, causing me anxiety and stress
I don’t need it.
I no longer want or desire your love
It’s no good for me.
Your love has only caused me pain and heartache
I can’t bleed it.
I cannot continue to sacrifice myself and tolerate your behavior
Veins gone empty
I have given all I can give and I have nothing left for you
I’ll repeat it.
I will say it as many times as necessary to make you understand my feelings
It’s no good for me.
I cannot have a healthy relationship with you
No good.
Our relationship is doomed and unhealthy
Baby, you’ve been gone this time too long
Your latest absence has lasted longer than I can handle and has caused me to give up on our relationship
I’ve run outta of you.
I have reached my limit and cannot take any more of your behavior
Out of you.
I have completely removed you from my life and my heart
Hey.
An expression of frustration and exasperation with the situation
I’ve run outta you.
I cannot tolerate your behavior any longer and have decided to move on from you
Oh Oh.
An expression of sadness and regret for the end of the relationship
I can’t take no more
I have reached my limit and cannot continue to suffer
I can’t break no more
I cannot continue to endure this cycle of leaving and returning
Over You
I am finally ready to move on from you and this unhealthy cycle
