Runnin' used to be the way I pass my time
All over town just to see what I could find
Every now and then I'd find some company
But every kiss, temporary
I try to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that lonely pain
No matter where I traveled, there I'd be
Stuck in those walls of skin called me

And I was just runnin' to find somethin' true
And I just be runnin' with nothing to prove
And I kept on runnin' and had nothing to show
They all saw me runnin' and said there he go

You caught my eye one day while I was on a run
Somehow you made me feel my life had just begun
I've seen the last of all my roamin' days
'Cause I grew from you I'd never run away

Now you got me runnin' to get home to you
And my heart keeps runnin' when I think of things you do
And I won't be runnin' to the one else, no one
They all see me runnin' and say that's love for sure oh yeah

I'm not hesitating no, as soon as work is done yeah
As fast as my legs can carry me yeah
Yeah life ain't complicated oh no
When you've got only one, one heart, one joy
One place to be

And now I'm watching people runnin' all around
Chasing after things that'll just run them down
And life is so much better if they change their ways
I wish I could tell them but you know I can't stay

'Cause I gotta get runnin' and get home to you, gotta get home
And my heart keeps runnin' when I think of things you do,
And I won't be runnin', no one else, no one no more
They all see me runnin' and say that's love for sure

And I'll just be runnin' to get home to you, gotta get home
And my heart keep runnin' when I think of things you do,
And I won't be runnin' to no one no more
They all see me runnin' and say that's love for sure
They all see me runnin' and say that's love for sure
They all see me runnin' and say that's love for sure

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mental Istid
Ebba Grön
This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
