Cover art for Run lyrics by Matt Nathanson

I really don't know how else to interpret these lyrics. I feel that it's two people having an affair. I'm surprised by the "love" comments that have been made. Yes, sex with someone you love is freakin' AMAZING! But I don't see anything in these lyrics that indicates love. I see lyrics that indicate great physical sex despite knowing it's emotionally wrong (i.e. cheating). And that is all that the relationship will ever be.

Sadly, people having affairs are probably relating to the powerful, sexual emotion in this song, and they are likely using the "good feeling" of this song to help them bury their guilt. It just won't work. It never does. When desires trump conscience, nothing good will follow. Break up first. Divorce first. Then start a real relationship with someone else who gets this.

It bothers me that these talented artists would be so shallow. I think I just lost a lot of respect for Matt and for Sugarland.

I couldn't agree more! Sex is a physical manifestation of love and is a powerful expression of emotion. Lust is just a crude expression our animal instincts and it just doesn't work. Anyhow, you said it much better than I. Thank you!
