Running Back to You
Chasing Love's Olive Green Echo
Lyrics
Can we take a train up for the week?
Proposing a getaway, suggesting a trip by train for a week
Pack a bag quick and let's just leave
Urging to quickly pack belongings and depart
You can lay in my lap i'll let you sleep
Offering comfort by allowing the person to rest on their lap
Got my heart skipping a beat
Feeling excited and nervous, causing the heart to skip a beat
Wanna see what you're made of?
Expressing curiosity about the person's true character or essence
You've got an old soul, you cover it with makeup
Noticing a deeper, more mature aspect hidden behind a facade
Never do what you're afraid of
Encouragement to confront fears and not avoid them
Waves wash over you take the pain with them
Metaphorically referencing challenges and their transformative nature
And do you think
Pondering about a hypothetical scenario
If we were trees we would grow next to each other?
Imagining a close, interconnected relationship if they were trees
And do you think
Considering control and influence in a metaphorical storm
If you're the storm i'd have control of the weather?
Referencing a color associated with nature, specifically trees
Olive green
Describing the similarity between color and natural elements
Like the branches that grow on the trees
Not sleeping due to a youthful appearance or innocence
And the leaves keep coming
Creating openness to experiences and sensations
All I see
Expressing emotions while watching a movie (Jaws) about fear
Is your picture it's painted all over me
Questioning someone's fear of deep or profound experiences
And I keep running back to you
Repeating the desire to explore the person's true self
Baby-face blues you never sleep
Commenting on the person's wit and occasional emotional outbursts
Windows open wide to feel the breeze
Encouraging to face fears instead of avoiding them
And when you watch Jaws you always weep
Continuing metaphorical references to challenges and growth
Why you so scared of the deep?
Exploring the idea of commitment and dedication in a relationship
Wanna see what you're made of?
Questioning the person's fear of deep emotions or experiences
You've got a quick wit with punchlines and tantrums
Noting the person's ability to handle situations with wit and intensity
Never do what you're afraid of
Reinforcing the idea of facing fears and not letting them control
Waves wash over you take the pain with 'em
Reiterating the transformative nature of challenges
And do you think
Pondering about a hypothetical scenario (sea and shore relationship)
If i'm the sea, you'd swim one shore to another?
Considering the ability to navigate through challenges
And do you think
Imagining providing comfort and warmth in a metaphorical sense
If i'm the warmth i'd bask in all of your Summer?
Referencing a color associated with nature, specifically trees
Olive green
Continuing the comparison of color to natural elements
Like the branches that grow on the trees
Repeating the desire for a close, intertwined relationship
And the leaves keep coming
Describing an intense emotional connection and attachment
All I see
Conveying the persistent return to the person despite challenges
Is your picture its painted all over me
Reiterating the overwhelming presence and impact of the person
And I keep running back to you
Continuing the theme of repeatedly returning to the person
