Lyrics
It's been countless hours
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
A thousand smokes and too many days
Indicating a multitude of experiences, struggles, or challenges.
But I, but I
Internal conflict or hesitation is present.
I can't reach the sadness
Feeling an inability to connect with deep sadness.
Our friends told me that you can't escape
Receiving advice from friends about the impossibility of escaping a situation.
Should I, should I
Questioning whether to continue missing someone.
Still be missing you, missing you, missing you, missing you?
Expressing ongoing emotions of missing someone.
'Cause I'm not missing you, missing you, missing you, missing you
Contrasting with the previous line, stating the absence of missing the person.
I just keep hiding under the covers (who says I can't keep running?)
Choosing to hide from reality or problems.
Keep on acting like nothing happened (who says I can't keep running?)
Acting as if nothing significant has occurred.
I've been living like it's tomorrow (who says I can't keep running away?)
Living with a focus on the future rather than facing the present.
Who says I can't keep running away?
Affirming the intention to keep running away from a situation.
Who says I can't keep running?
Reiterating the desire to continue running.
If I'm a waste of time, then
Questioning one's worth or value in a relationship.
Why d'you let me live in your head?
Wondering why the person is still mentally present despite being considered a waste of time.
When I, when I
Acknowledging personal emotional detachment from the situation.
Know I'm over it, over it, over it, over you
Asserting that personal emotions are resolved and moved on.
But you're not over it, over it, over it, over me too
Highlighting the other person's lingering emotions.
I just keep hiding under the covers (who says I can't keep running?)
Continuing the theme of avoidance and hiding from problems.
Keep on acting like nothing happened (who says I can't keep running?)
Pretending as if the significant event had no impact.
I've been living like it's tomorrow (who says I can't keep running away?)
Living with a focus on the future, maintaining a pattern of running away.
Who says I can't keep running away?
Reaffirming the intention to persistently run away.
Who says I can't keep running?
Repeating the desire to continue running from the situation.
Away, away, uh yeah, yeah (who says I can't keep running?)
Emphasizing the act of running away with a vocalization.
Away, away
Repeating the idea of running away.
I just keep running away (I keep running, ah, I keep running, ah)
Explicitly stating the act of continuously running away.
I just keep running away (I keep running, ah, I keep running, ah)
Repeating the declaration of consistently running away for emphasis.
I just keep running away (I keep running, ah, I keep running, ah)
Further emphasizing the repetition of running away.
I just keep running away (I keep running, ah, I keep running, ah)
Continuing the emphasis on the act of running away.
(I keep running, ah)
Finalizing the declaration of persistently running away.
