Lyrics
I tend to waste time running from me
I tend to waste time running from myself
That's what she said in the back alley
Refers to a conversation where someone mentioned the tendency to avoid self-confrontation
Of that sheetz we would hit on a late night buzz
Recalls a specific location (back alley at Sheetz) from a late-night experience
Drunk off love maybe we had too much
Suggests being intoxicated with love, possibly to the point of excess
Complicated
Describes the situation as complicated
Spin my head around
Expresses disorientation or confusion
Can't run straight if I tried
Emphasizes difficulty in maintaining a clear direction or purpose
To pull you close to me
Expresses a desire to draw someone close despite challenges
I can feel the beat of you running back to my mind
Senses the emotional impact, feeling the other person's presence in thoughts
But I
Introduces a conflicting sentiment or situation
Don't have time to waste
States a lack of time for non-essential pursuits
I'd give it all to you
Expresses a willingness to give everything to someone
If you could ever catch up to me
Highlights the challenge of the other person catching up emotionally
I been in the fast lane
Indicates a period of fast-paced living or decision-making
Come slow me down babe
Invites the other person to slow down the pace of life
Come show me everything I run from
Encourages facing and embracing aspects of life that are usually avoided
Change up my high now
Expresses discomfort with the emotional aftermath
Don't like the come down
Dislikes the emotional descent after a high or intense experience
This isn't who I wanted to become
Reflects on an undesirable transformation from one's original aspirations
So I run
Reiterates the inclination to escape or avoid
Hope you catch up someday
Expresses hope that the other person catches up in understanding
Till then I run
Continues the theme of running away until the other person catches up
Run so far away
Describes a persistent effort to distance oneself
When it all falls apart
Addresses a situation falling apart
And you fall on your face
Describes a moment of failure or difficulty
Too many times to get up
Expresses resilience despite repeated challenges
And you come back and chase all the pain with the drugs
Relies on substances to cope with emotional pain
I'm damaged I know
Acknowledges personal damage or vulnerability
But I know that I need you tonight
Recognizes the need for companionship despite personal issues
Cause I
Reiterates a lack of time for non-essential pursuits
Don't have time to waste
Expresses a willingness to give everything to someone
I'd give it all to you
Highlights the challenge of the other person catching up emotionally
If you could ever catch up to me
Repeats the sentiment of offering everything if the other person catches up
I been in the fast lane
Indicates a period of fast-paced living or decision-making
Come slow me down babe
Invites the other person to slow down the pace of life
Come show me everything I run from
Encourages facing and embracing aspects of life that are usually avoided
Change up my high now
Expresses discomfort with the emotional aftermath
Don't like the come down
Dislikes the emotional descent after a high or intense experience
This isn't who I wanted to become
Reflects on an undesirable transformation from one's original aspirations
So I run
Reiterates the inclination to escape or avoid
So I run
Emphasizes the ongoing act of running away
Hope you catch up to me
Expresses hope that the other person catches up emotionally
Catch up to me
Reiterates the desire for the other person to catch up emotionally
