About

This song is about the fear that as one (especially a female) grows up and begins to take on the role of an adult and conforming to societal norms (i.e. putting on makeup) that one begins to lose oneself in “what [they] become” and how, at the moment, she is not ready for it; indeed, she’s “been run...

Running Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not ready
To paint my face
And cover
All that lies beneath
If that disappoints you
I'm sorry to say
I will be no accomplice
To a thief

[Verse 2]
Just like this river
That flows in between
All the wrecks
And the brambles in the waves
You can build a dam
You can force it upstream
But the water
Always gets away

[Chorus]
I've been running from
I'm running from
The fear I'll lose myself
In what I become
And I don't wanna be
Under the gun

[Post-Chorus]
Please give me the strength to find
I don't have to run

[Verse 3]
My mama told me
"Child," she said
"You're beautiful
You're beautiful to me"
I said, "Mama
Wish I was in your head
'Cause despite your words
I really do not see"

[Chorus]
I've been running from
I'm running from
The fear I'll lose myself
In what I become
And I don't wanna be
Under the gun

[Post-Chorus]
Please give me the strength to find
I don't have to run

[Chorus]
I've been running from
I'm running from
The fear I'll lose myself
In what I become
And I don't wanna be
Under the gun

[Outro]
Please give me the strength to find
I'm not the only one
Please give me the strength to find
I don't have to run
