Running
YOUTH ALLOWANCE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

...
I knew a boy who fell in love at first sight
He didn't know what was wrong or right
He was running around his own mind
Just to get a sense of what was nice
But he was young and he didn't know how to go around it
now is he running away, to get free from, free from, free from this
Waves crash down upon him
Simple signs that he won't budge on this
Naivety is such a callous thing
So he sets his journey to learning
And he was young and he didn't know how to go around it
now is he running away, to get free from, free from, free from this
and he was young and he didn't know how to go around it
now is he running away, to get free from, free from, free from
The sun would come up and he knew that the sun would go down again,
The sun would come up and he knew and he knew and he knew
He's running right, he's running left, he's running right he's running left, he don't know where he's going. He just keeps running
He's running right, he's running left, he's running right he's running left, he don't know where he's going. he just keeps running
...




He's running right, he's running left, he's running right he's running left, he don't know where he's going. He just keeps running
He's running right, he's running left, he's running right he's running left, he don't know where he's going. he just keeps running
