On The Run
Chasing Shadows of Love: Queen Kwong's On The Run
Lyrics
I've been biding my time
I've been waiting for the right moment.
Trying not to crash
Trying to navigate life without major setbacks.
If the world's gonna end, I want you to be the one I see last
Expressing a desire for a significant other to be with during difficult times.
‘Cause I don't like heartache
Aversion to emotional pain.
Then again, nobody does
Acknowledging that nobody enjoys heartache.
But if we dance a little slower maybe Ill stop myself from giving up
Suggesting that slowing down in life might prevent giving up.
I keep finding myself on the run
Frequently finding oneself avoiding commitment or settling down.
Losing more of myself every time I fall in love
Losing a part of oneself with each romantic relationship.
I keep finding myself on the run
Continuing to resist being tied down.
Ready to leave you in the dust
Readiness to move on from a relationship without looking back.
I've been staying awake just to watch you sleep I envy your sweet dreams
Observing a partner's peaceful sleep and longing for inclusion in their dreams.
I hope someday they're of me
Hopeful anticipation of being the subject of the partner's dreams.
I don't like heartache
Reiteration of the dislike for emotional pain.
Then again, nobody does
Reaffirming that nobody enjoys heartache.
But you can't ahead of the pain just by giving up Don't give up on me baby, don't give up
Encouragement to face pain rather than giving up, with a plea not to abandon the speaker.
I keep finding myself on the run
Continuing the pattern of avoiding commitment and running away from emotional involvement.
Losing more of myself every time I fall in love
Acknowledging the cost of losing oneself in love.
I keep finding myself on the run
Reiterating the speaker's tendency to avoid staying in one place emotionally.
Ready to leave you in the dust
Expressing readiness to move on, leaving the past behind.
Track me down
Asking to be pursued or found.
Hold me tight
Desiring emotional security and closeness.
Don't let me go until I die Track me down
Pleading not to be abandoned until death.
Hold me tight
Reiterating the need for emotional connection and security.
Don't let me go
Emphasizing the desire to be held and not let go.
Not til I die
Requesting emotional support and connection until the end of life.
Track me down
Repeating the plea to be pursued or found.
Hold me tight
Reiterating the need for emotional security and closeness.
Don't let me go, baby
Pleading not to be let go, even if resistance is shown.
Even if I put up a fight
Expressing a willingness to fight against being let go.
