Lyrics
I'm not sure what I've been running from
I am uncertain about what I've been avoiding or escaping.
But I've been running since 21
Since the age of 21, I have been on the run or avoiding something.
And I'll be 21 to you until my days are done
I will continue this behavior until my life comes to an end.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to prove
I don't know what I am trying to prove with my actions.
But I would go to the moon for you
I am willing to go to great lengths, even to the moon, for you.
I'd bring back the moon for you
I would accomplish extraordinary feats for you, like bringing back the moon.
That's what I would do
This is the extent of what I would do for you.
Sit with me by the ocean
Join me at the ocean, and let the tide take us away together.
And let the tide wash us away
Expressing a desire for a romantic moment by the ocean.
Oh, love, I wish that I could stay
Expressing a longing to stay in love despite difficulties.
Oh, I believe I could be everything you want me to be
Confident belief in the ability to fulfill your expectations.
Ohh oh, but baby, I'm a runaway
Despite the belief, I admit to being a runaway or someone who avoids commitment.
Oh, now I see you're everything that I'll ever need
Realizing that you are everything I need in life.
Ohh oh, baby, let's be runaways
Suggesting the idea of both being runaways, possibly embracing a carefree lifestyle together.
I'm not sure where my friends have gone
Uncertain about the whereabouts of friends.
And even if I'm still having fun
Despite having fun, there is a sense of emptiness without determination or resilience.
Without some grit, tell me how the West was won
Questioning how success in the West was achieved without determination.
I always thought that we'd be free
Always believed in the idea of freedom.
It's just a naive ideology
Realizing that freedom was a naive concept.
If I can't live for you, tell me can you live for me?
If I can't live for you, questioning if you can live for me.
Sit with me by the ocean
Repetition of the desire to be by the ocean, suggesting a recurring theme.
And let the tide wash us away
Repetition of the desire for the tide to wash away, indicating a desire for a fresh start.
Oh, love, I wish that I could stay
Reiterating the wish to stay in love despite challenges.
Oh, I believe I could be everything you want me to be
Reaffirming the belief in meeting expectations.
Oh, but baby I'm a runaway
Despite the belief, acknowledging the tendency to run away.
Oh, now I see you're everything that I'd ever need
Recognizing that you are everything I need in life.
Oh, baby, let's be runaways
Encouraging the idea of both escaping together, possibly as a romantic gesture.
