Intro, Low pulse + distant pads]
(boom… boom…)
[Verse 1]
You say you run when it gets too loud
When it starts to mean something
You keep your feet just off the ground
Never let it become anything
You laugh like it’s nothing new
Like it’s just the way you move
But I can see it coming through
Every time I get close to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And it slows down
Right before you go
I can feel it now
In the undertow
[Chorus]
You run, run, run
Like a rhythm in your blood
You run, run, run
From anything that could become
And I stay where it settles
Where the silence turns real
But you’re gone in the movement
Before you ever feel
[Verse 2]
You stand there, half turned away
Like you’re already leaving
Even when you choose to stay
You’re never really staying
I watch it happen in your eyes
Like a tide that pulls you out
You don’t even say goodbye
You just fade before the sound
[Pre-Chorus]
And it slows down
Like a final breath
There’s a moment now
Then there’s nothing left
[Chorus]
You run, run, run
Like a rhythm in your blood
You run, run, run
From anything that could become
And I stay where it settles
Where the silence turns real
But you’re gone in the movement
Before you ever feel
[Bridge, Cinematic build]
There’s a second where it holds
Where it almost feels like us
Where the air goes still and gold
And it almost feels enough
But you break it every time
Like you’re scared of what it means
You disappear before the line
Before it turns into a thing
(ahh… ahh… layered vocals rise)
[Final Chorus, Full lift]
You run, run, run
Till there’s nothing left to lose
You run, run, run
From anything that might be true
And I stay where it settles
Where the silence turns real
But you’re gone in the movement
Before you ever feel
[Outro, Fading pulse]
You don’t leave all at once
You just slowly remove
Like a shadow in the light
Like a body in a room
(heartbeat fades)
You run…
[End]
