Time To Run Lyrics

It's time to run, they'll string me up for all that I've done
I'm going soon, gonna leave tonight, by the light of the moon
I did it all for you, well I hope you know the lengths I've gone to
What's a man to say? They'll be looking for me, should be on my way

I've no regrets, I will not ask for your forgiveness
Lower your defense, run away with me and it'll all make sense
I did it all for you, don't spurn me after all I've gone through
No time to rest, I'm gonna find me a life

How do you run but I know that I will be there beside in my favorite ideas
I will run but I know that I will be there beside in my favorite ideas

It's time to run, well I hope you understand what I've done
Run away for you, I'm gonna count the days 'til you make it through
I did it all for you, well I hope you live the life you want to
My time is spent, baby please don't tell 'em just where I went

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everybody else in the world to know
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everyone to know that you're the girl for me
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
That I ain't ever gonna let 'em take the life from me
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everybody else in the world to know
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everyone to know that you're the girl for me
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
That I ain't ever

How do you run but I know that I will be there beside in my favorite ideas

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have no evidence for this, but I like to think he robbed a bank, took a huge amount of money, and in the process killed someone. He gave some of the money to his girlfriend, but he has to run to save his own life. He invites her to come with him, but if she stays, she's financially set, and he will always be with her in spirit.

Although all very good interpretations, I think you guys are being to literal to the meaning. I think it's about the foolish things a man will do for a girl, but after even all that happens, even if he knows he's done and caught, he still doesn't regret based on his love for the girl
