“Should’ve Ran After You” is the third track off of Cole Swindell’s EP, Down Home Sessions II, released on November 6th, 2015.
Having a darker focus than most of his songs, “Should’ve Ran After You” follows the actions and regrets one may have have when the girl of one’s dreams gets away from them.
[Verse 1]
Ice meltin' down in another strong drink
Takin' my time, sipping through the pain alone, all alone
Gettin' on up and gettin' out of this place
Ain't worth the chance of me seeing your face again, not with him
It's kinda like ending up in hell with nobody to blame but yourself
[Chorus 1]
I should've ran after you
I should've known everything I had to lose
Yeah, before you walked away and let me have my space
Before I ran you right in to the arms of someone new
I should've ran after you
[Verse 2]
If I'da spent another minute staring in your eyes
Maybe I'da seen how lonely I would be, now look at me
I should've been lovin' your tears away
Instead of standing there with nothing to say at all
Yeah, girl the second I saw tail lights...
[Chorus 1]
I should've ran after you
I should've known everything I had to lose
Yeah, before you walked away and let me have my space
Before I ran you right in to the arms of someone new
I should've ran after you
[Bridge]
Yeah, one second thought, I could have stopped it all
Letting you go was just the calm before the storm
I'd threw myself in to
I should've ran after you
Girl, I should've thought it through
[Chorus 2]
I should've ran after you
And you're the hardest thing I ever had to lose
Yeah, before you walked away and let me have my space
Before I ran you right in to the arms of someone new
I should've ran after you
[Outro]
Yeah, I should've ran after you
Yeah, I should've
Now I've got ice meltin' down in another strong drink
Taking my time, sippin' through the pain
