Run Run Run
Chasing Love's Illusive Trails: Kevin Ayers' 'Run Run Run' Reflections
Lyrics
You run run run, you get nowhere
You engage in continuous effort, but it leads to no progress.
Oh, take it easy, oh, take it easy
Encouragement to relax and not stress.
A long time gone, babe, I still care
Despite a significant amount of time passing, there are lingering feelings of affection.
It isn't easy, it isn't easy
Expressing that the situation is challenging.
I still feel that it's true
Emphasizing the continued truth of a feeling.
Still in love with you
Expressing enduring love for someone.
You push, you pull but that's not fair
Pointing out an unfair dynamic of pushing and pulling in a relationship.
Oh, take it easy, oh, take it easy
Reiterating the advice to take things easy and not stress.
You're not here, so you must be there
Speculating about the absence of someone.
It isn't easy, it isn't easy
Highlighting the difficulty of the situation.
I still feel that it's true
Reaffirming the persistent truth of a feeling.
Still in love with you
Expressing enduring love for someone.
You're running, you're running
Repetition emphasizing the act of running away, possibly from the complexities of a relationship.
You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You push, you pull but that's not fair
-Oh, take it easy, take it easy
-You're not here, babe, you must be there
-It isn't easy, it isn't easy
-I still feel that it's true
-Still in love with you
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
-You're running, you're running
-You're running away
