Running from Lions Lyrics

Get me out of this place
Before I cause more damage
A small price to pay
For building houses out of matchsticks

When things get too hot
(Get too hot)
You've got me to blame
(Me to blame)
For every fire that breaks out
In every lover's name

Don't forget we've
Got unfinished business
Stories yet to unfold
Tales that must be retold
And I regret not knowing when
To put an end to all this madness
Keeps me wanting
Keeps me wanting more

Sell me out
I'm yesterday's old news
Phrases left on paper
Black ink bleeding through
The pages where we
Made our history
Call me foolish
I feel hopeless

Running from lions
(Like a deer in the headlights)
Never felt like such a mistake
(I won't know what hit me)
Running from lions
(Like a deer in the headlights)
Never felt like such a mistake
(I won't know what hit me)
Running from lions
Never felt like such a

Don't forget we've
Got unfinished business
Stories yet to unfold
Tales that must be retold
And I regret not knowing when
To put an end to all this madness
Keeps me wanting
Keeps me wanting
Keeps me wanting
Keeps me wanting more

makes me think of a bad relationship between someone that is in so deep that maybe isnt even a relationship like a friend that you were hooking up with and it went too far that now you're both hurting but they are in too deep, its too hard to end. they knew it would end badly but they keep coming back for more. running from lions seems like something that is impossible to do that it eventially will come to an end its just how long will you last in the chase before it ends disastrously

I think it's about someone (not necessarily Alex) having suicidal thoughts,"Running from lions never felt like such a mistake", the lions are sort of a metaphor for death, 'sort of' because they are a cause of death but not his/hers. They are saying they are not at the point where they are seriously considering taking their own life, but if an opportunity to die arose they wouldn't deny it, like if a car was coming for them they wouldn't move. The first verse is about how they mess everything up and won't be missed. The chorus is about the future that they could have if they hold on to life and their excitement for what's to come.
