Cover art for Run lyrics by Vampire Weekend

First verse: explains that we become our jobs rather than thriving like we should

2nd: I don't really know, maybe it's eloping

3rd: Is probably a sexual reference to the "condensation" in cars when u have sex and little bit of change is the amount to pay for sex. or maybe not since this has to do with the last verse so.. but definitely sex

4th: same as 2nd

5th: seems like trying to compromise optimism

6th: looks like running away needs some more thought

7th: Eloping is financially possible

8th: maybe communication is really the problem instead of money
