“Run” is a story of two people in a close relationship who are separated by circumstance. It is about a person giving final remarks to someone they may possibly never see again.
This song became Snow Patrol’s breakthrough British single. Leona Lewis covered the song which she included on the deluxe...
[Verse 1]
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
[Verse 2]
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
[Chorus 1]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Verse 3]
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
[Chorus 1]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Chorus 2]
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easy way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

According to Gary Lightbody in 2013:
“Run” was written in 2000, wasn’t released until 2003 on Final Straw. All I really wanted from life was to be able to take care of my family: my mum and dad, my sister, my niece. So it was a song written about that, and any future family that I have of my own, o...
