When You Gonna Run to Me
Chasing Shadows of Love: When Will You Return?
Lyrics
I get lonely
I experience loneliness
But I get along
I manage to cope or survive
I still think about you
I still have thoughts about you
Is that wrong?
Questioning the appropriateness of these thoughts
I talked to your brother
I spoke with your brother
He said, you got a line on a job
Your brother mentioned you're seeking a job
you've been jettin' around
You've been traveling confidently
Like some big shot
Acting important or self-assured
You're running from old memories
You're avoiding old memories
You're running out of time, so
You're running out of time
When you gonna run to me baby?
Asking when the person will come to the speaker
When you gonna run to me darlin'?
Repeating the question with affection
Well, I know it sounds crazy
Acknowledging that the situation seems irrational
But I know in my heart
Believing in the depth of emotions
You can run for a lifetime
Expressing that running may not bring fulfillment
And not get that far
Highlighting the lack of progress despite running
You're running on empty
You're emotionally drained
You're running on fire, so
You're in a passionate or challenging situation
When you gonna run to me baby?
Repeating the question with urgency
When you gonna run to me darlin'?
Repeating the question with affection
Well, I know it sounds crazy
Emphasizing the perceived irrationality of the situation
But I know in my heart
Reiterating belief in the depth of emotions
You can run for a lifetime
Repeating the idea that running may not lead to fulfillment
And not get that far
Reiterating the lack of progress despite running
You're running on empty
Emotionally drained
You're running on fire
In a passionate or challenging situation
'Cause in the end you will stand once again by my side
Believing that eventually, the person will be with the speaker
But until then I know waiting's as hard as good-bye
Recognizing the difficulty of waiting
You're running out of reasons
Running out of justifications or excuses
You're running out of time, so
Running out of time
When you gonna run to me baby?
Repeating the urgent question
When you gonna run to me darlin'?
Repeating the affectionate question
Well, I know it sounds crazy
Reiterating the perceived irrationality of the situation
But I know in my heart
Reiterating belief in the depth of emotions
You can run for a lifetime
Repeating the idea that running may not lead to fulfillment
And not get that far
Reiterating the lack of progress despite running
You're running on empty
Emotionally drained
You're running on fire, so
In a passionate or challenging situation
When you gonna run to me baby
Repeating the urgent question
When you gonna run to me
Repeating the question
When you gonna run to me
-When you gonna run to me
Repeating the urgent question
