Run It Back
Echoes of Lost Time: Toria Rainey's Emotional Journey in 'Run It Back'
Lyrics
You go by a different name now
You now identify with a different name.
I loved you how you were and now you made it worse
I initially loved you as you were, but your actions have worsened our situation.
Every bone in my body says let it go
Despite every instinct telling me to let go, I struggle with moving on.
But you remain in the veins that I let you transfuse
Your influence remains in my veins, a result of my choice to let you be a part of me.
I miss how we used to be
I long for the past when we had a different connection.
Did you have to outgrow me?
Did you have to grow apart from me?
Did you have to outgrow me?
Repetition emphasizes the question of whether the separation was necessary.
We can't make up for lost time
We cannot compensate for the time we've lost.
When you've lived a hundred lives
Even with multiple experiences, it's challenging to make up for lost time.
So help me fill in all the gaps
Assistance is sought to fill in the gaps in our relationship.
You know you want to run it back
An invitation or plea to revisit and revive the past, symbolized by "run it back."
We can't make up for lost time
Reiteration of the inability to make up for lost time.
But you're here now, so we'll be fine
The acknowledgment that despite the challenges, the present moment is acceptable.
Oh, help me fill in all the gaps
A repetition of the request for help in bridging the gaps in the relationship.
You know you want to run it back
A reaffirmation of the desire to revisit the past and reconcile.
(Run it back, run it back)
A musical interlude or emphasis on the idea of running it back.
You don't buy a pack a day now
You no longer engage in a harmful habit daily.
You're going on and on 'bout how you quit for her
Continuous discussion about quitting the habit for someone else.
Every time that you say that you've settled down
Each time you claim to have settled down, my longing for our past intensifies.
The more I crave all the ways I felt with you around
I crave the feelings and experiences we shared when you were around.
I miss how we used to be
A repetition of missing the past connection.
Did you have to outgrow me?
Questioning whether the growth and change were necessary.
Did you have to outgrow me?
Repetition emphasizes the impact of outgrowing.
We can't make up for lost time
Emphasizing the impossibility of compensating for lost time.
When you've lived a hundred lives
Reiteration of the challenges in making up for lost time.
So help me fill in all the gaps
Seeking assistance to bridge the gaps in the relationship.
You know you want to run it back
A repeated invitation or plea to revisit and revive the past.
We can't make up for lost time
Reiteration of the inability to make up for lost time.
But you're here now, so we'll be fine
Acceptance of the current situation as fine since you are present.
Oh, help me fill in all the gaps
Repetition of the request for help in bridging the gaps.
You know you want to run it
Emphasizing the desire to revisit and revive the past.
Back, run it
A musical emphasis on running it back.
Back, baby
A repetition of the idea of running it back.
So help me fill in all the gaps
Request for assistance in bridging the gaps, emphasizing the desire to run it back.
You know you want to run it
Repetition of the idea of running it back.
Back, run it
A musical emphasis on running it back.
Back, baby
Request for assistance in bridging the gaps, emphasizing the desire to run it back.
You and I will always be attached
An assertion that the connection between "you and I" is enduring and permanent.
So why don't we just run it back
A suggestion to revisit and revive the past, concluding with "run it back."
