Lyrics
You’ve been running for too long,
You've been avoiding commitment or emotional connection for an extended period.
Maybe you should give it up,
Suggesting that giving up the avoidance might be a positive choice.
Come find me,
An invitation to come and find the speaker, possibly to explore a deeper connection.
Oh baby,
An affectionate term used to address the person the lyrics are directed towards.
We could never do it wrong,
Expressing confidence that their relationship will always be right or harmonious.
There’s no way to measure to love,
Love is immeasurable, cannot be quantified, and comparing it is unnecessary.
Only heart break,
Acknowledging that heartbreak is a part of love.
No mistakes,
Emphasizing that in love, there are no irreversible errors or wrongs.
Cause baby when we move in close,
Encouraging closeness in the relationship.
Nobody has to know,
Suggesting that their connection can be kept private, not needing external validation.
So give me another dose,
Requesting more emotional involvement or intimacy.
I really need to know,
Expressing a strong desire for understanding and assurance.
You can’t run from love,
Stating that it is impossible to escape or avoid love.
You can’t run from love,
Reiterating the inescapable nature of love.
You can’t run from love,
Emphasizing once again that love cannot be evaded.
You can’t run from love,
Repeating the idea that one cannot run away from love.
You can’t run from love,
Underlining the inevitability of love.
You can’t run from love
Reiterating the theme that love is inescapable.
You’ve been running for too long,
Repeating the message of avoiding emotional connection for an extended period.
Maybe you should give it up,
Reiterating the suggestion to consider giving up avoidance.
Come find me,
Issuing the invitation once again to seek a deeper connection.
Oh baby,
Repeating the affectionate address to the person being sung to.
We could never do it wrong,
Reaffirming the belief in the compatibility of their relationship.
There’s no way to measure to love,
Restating the immeasurable nature of love and discouraging its comparison.
Only heart break,
Reiterating the acknowledgment of heartbreak as a component of love.
No mistakes,
Re-emphasizing the absence of irreversible mistakes in love.
Cause baby when we move in close,
Encouraging intimacy once again in the relationship.
Nobody has to know,
Reiterating the privacy of their connection, hidden from external scrutiny.
So give me another dose,
Asking for a renewed commitment or emotional involvement.
I really need to know,
Expressing a continued strong desire for understanding and assurance.
You can’t run from love,
Final affirmation that love cannot be escaped or avoided.
You can’t run from love,
Repeating the inescapable nature of love one last time.
You can’t run from love
Concluding the song with a final declaration of the inevitability of love.
