Running Shoes
Echoes of Love Lost: We Were Blank's Poignant Reflections in 'Running Shoes'
Lyrics
Remember how we used to spend
Recalling past moments spent together
Every single night but then
But then something changed or happened
You took away the thing that mattered more to me do you
You deprived me of something important to me; questioning your actions
Remember when we spent that week upon the beach
Remembering a specific time spent at the beach
We were so in love back then
We were deeply in love during that time
But we were younger then
Reflecting on being younger in the past
I don't wanna run away
Expressing a desire not to escape or leave
I never wanna run away
Affirmation of not wanting to run away
Do you remember when you said that I'm your beast of burden
Recollection of being described as a 'beast of burden'
I don't wanna run away
Reiteration of not wanting to escape or leave
I never wanna run away
Reaffirmation of not wanting to run away
Do you remember when you said that
Recalling a past statement made by the partner
Cause it weighs heavy on my back
Feeling burdened by past actions or words
Do you remember when
Asking if the partner remembers a specific event
We were smoking cigarettes upon my porch
Recollection of smoking together on a porch
And you were sure that we were
Belief or certainty in the permanence of the relationship
Always gonna be together
Emphasizing the commitment to always be together
Always gonna be together
Reiteration of the belief in eternal togetherness
You had sworn that you'd remember that
Your promise to remember this commitment
I don't wanna run away
Reaffirmation of not wanting to escape or leave
I never wanna run away
Affirmation of not wanting to run away
Do you remember when you said that I'm your beast of burden
Recollection of being described as a 'beast of burden'
I don't wanna run away
Reiteration of not wanting to escape or leave
I never wanna run away
Reaffirmation of not wanting to run away
Do you remember when you said that
Recalling a past statement made by the partner
Cause it weighs heavy on my back
Feeling burdened by past actions or words
I don't wanna run away
Expressing a desire not to escape or leave
I never wanna run away
Affirmation of not wanting to run away
Do you remember when you said that
Recalling a past statement made by the partner
