Run

I have very mixed feelings about this song. Well, the one that Matt Nathanson and Jennifer Nettles perform, anyways (Snow Patrol's "Run" is a solid "I like it") . I love the music and the way that their voices mesh seamlessly. However, I don't particularly care for the lyrics. Depending on how you interpret the lyrics, it could mean that the relationship is either: a) a result of infidelity, or b) just simply unhealthy.

Still, it's a song that I like and that's associated with someone. Multiple someones, actually, if I think about its varying interpretations.

Anyways, here's the song. . .


. . . And Lyrics:
"Run" - Matt Nathanson feat. Sugarland

[Verse 1 (Matt):]
I wanna watch you undress
I wanna watch you glow
Let your hair down
All around, cover us both
You come in a wave
We crash and we roll
You surround me, pull me, drown me, swallow me whole

[Chorus (Both):]
You turn, turn, turn, turning me on

Like a slow fire burn 

Know that it's wrong

Still I run, run, run, run right into you

Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you

[Verse 2 (Jennifer):]
You pull me in close

You buckle my knees

I shake and I shiver just to feel you breathe

You trace my lines


(You trace your lines)

Stirring my soul

Shoot sparks at the heart of the world and I watch it explode
 (I watch you, I watch you)

[Chorus (Both):]
You turn, turn, turn, turning me on

Like a slow fire burn 

Know that it's wrong

Still I run, run, run, run right into you

Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you

[Hook:]
[Matt]
I’m amazing when you’re beside me
I am so much more

[Jennifer]
And I feel your fingers
Pound like thunder
I am so much more

[Matt]
So much more

[Chorus (Both):]
Turn, turn, turn, turning me on

Like a slow fire burn 

Know that it's wrong

Still I run, run, run, run right into you

Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you

Turn, turn, turn, turning me on

Like a slow fire burn 

Know that it's wrong

Still I run, run, run, run right into you

Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you
Still I run, run, run, run right back to you

[Jennifer]
Turning me on

[Matt]
Like a slow fire burn
