It’s about being alone with your thoughts after a breakup and starting to miss someone you know isn’t good for you. It’s the dangerous thought that if you could help them quit running away from their problems it just’ve might’ve worked out… when really, they need to want it for themselves.
[Verse 1]
When I sit at the park on the bench
With a cold cup of coffee, the strangers go by
I start to talk to myself
Thinking out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
“La di da
La di da
La di da.”
Here’s what’s on my mind
“La di da
La di da
La di da
I miss you and I.”
[Chorus]
Aren’t you tired of running
Running away?
Of all the hurting from your past mistakes
So lay down with me and rest your heavy heart
Aren’t you tired of running
Running away?
[Verse 2]
No matter the path that I take
I feel like I’m back where I started
So I lay here broken hearted
Thinking out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
“La di da
La di da
La di da.”
Here’s what’s on my mind
“La di da
La di da
La di da
I miss you and I.”
[Chorus]
Aren’t you tired of running
Running away?
Of all the hurting from your past mistakes
So lay down with me and rest your heavy heart
Aren’t you tired of running
Running away?
[Bridge]
La di da, la di da
La di da, la di da
La!
La di da, la di da
La di da, la di da
La!
It’s not too late!
La di da, la di da
La di da, la di da (You’ve got to stop for a minute)
La! (For a minute, yeah)
La di da, la di da, (Ooh aren’t you tired?)
La di da, la di da
La!
[Chorus]
So stop running
Running away
From all the hurting from your past mistakes
Lay down with me and rest your heavy heart
Aren’t you tired of running, (Aren’t you tired?)
Running away? (Tired of running away)
[Outro]
La di da, la di da, (Woah-oh-oh)
La di da, la di da
La! (Yeah)
La di da, la di da, (Mmh)
La di da, la di da, (Aren’t you tired, yeah?)
La!
