The Fray – Run For Your Life Lyrics 13 years ago
Seventeen years by her side
Broke the same bed
Wore the same clothes and we said
We're sisters with nothing between
If one of us falls
The other will soon be following

There are two sisters that had been together for 17 years, who shared what they had, they meant a lot to each other, they had an amazing bond.

Both of you fell the same day
You don't know why
One of you never woke up
And you laid by her down on the floor
Desperate to hear her footsteps again
But this house is on fire
We need to go

Maybe there was a fire, both the sisters fell down but only one got back up because the other sister passes away and the alive sister was stricken with grief, Desperate to hear her footsteps again, she didn't want to believe her sister was dead.

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

She doesn't have to deal with the grief herself because there are other people who will support her

Run for your life my love,
Run and don't give up
With all that you are,
All that you want
I will be close behind
Run for your life

There is someone to support her, Run for your life my love, a boyfriend perhaps? He will follow her but she has to run and keep on going. Run and don't give up, hes telling her to stay strong and just keep on pushing through the hard time.

She had a fire inside
And that terrified you
You swore you'd never lose your control
Baby let yourself go
It's part of your height
And I know the hunger inside of you is strong
You can only hold back the river so long

He knows shes trying to stay strong and not show her emotions. You can only hold back the river so long, she has to cry to let her grief out and she wont be able to hold back the emotions and tears.

Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
Come back a few
Take all that's true
And leave all that's broke behind
Run for your life

He is once again telling her to run basically to keep moving and never stopping to stay strong and if she doesn't know how to continue to think and remember all the good memories but leave behind all the hurt and pain.

So the song is about two sisters but there is a tragedy and one sister dies the other sister doesn't know how to continue or how to cope, but her family member or her boyfriend is there to support her and says you dont have to go it alone meaning i will be here for you through this horrible time, but you have to run for your life so keep on going and stay strong. You can only hold back the river so long, she should try and come to grip with the fact her sister has passed away even though it is hard she should cry and let her emotions go. Take all thats true and leave all thats burnt behind, let the horrible memories go and focus on all the beautiful memories she had with her sister. This is just what i think though :P
