Heap, Imogen - Run-Time Lyrics






Sparks might fly, in no time.
It’s a delayed reaction of the third kind. (ooh)
I’m so ready for this.
Shrink-wrapped tones, I can face the music.
Stop matters bonding us way beyond
Our best by-days.

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, so no hard feelings.
We've done all we could and all again. I’m done pretending.
Let’s quit while we’re still friends.

Making up stories that grew to be too tall,
My fortress to forget couldn't take anymore.
You nearly watched me ruin everything, everything!
There’s a number one rule of don’t-do’s.
Well we knew it all too well.
You were supposed to be looking out for me!
Have you any idea how difficult it’s been?

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, so no hard feelings.
We've done all we could, and all again. Let’s save ourselves a sorry ending.
You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, but this is as far as we can stretch.
Let’s stop pretending, stop pretending.
And quit while we’re still friends
[x2]

Well I was so young, misguided maybe.
But still this hands over my every pen to paper.
And this all started with a song.
Let this be our last one.
Drop, drop. Bridge, bridge!

We've had it good, we've had it bad, but this is as far as we can stretch.
Stop pretending!
And quit while we’re still friends.

I wish you well.
I wish you well… (I wish you well, wish you well, wish you well)

Wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell.
I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully. (gracefully)
Can we just not drag this out, please?
I wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell.
I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully, (do it gracefully!)
Can we just not drag this out?

    K.... C....

    these lyrics are quite inaccurate, in the chorus it’s “all we could and all we can”

  41. j.... h....

    why does this song not have a 50 million likes ?

    j.... h....

    jon hamm or 1B views

    j.... h....

    2 years too late, but this is the underground, everyone else is fanning over lame pop stars and following the "trend" of the radio, and friends. Here in the underground, our music is safe from being trendy or worn down by popularity. Saddening to see great artists never get the recognition, but the scarcity of their discovery give our tastes a whole sense of uniqueness, and could have others discover our unique musical tastes in the process

  42. S.... C....

    I've been listening to Imogen since she produced Frou Frou, and I must say to this day THIS SONG is still my favorite of them all. That's a challenge considering it's still considered so new.

  43. C.... D....

    Please, 2017 give us: Imogen Heap + Aphex Twin

  44. B.... ....

    Really digging the last minute of this song. And I love the big dude, dancing into the frame at 4:23 then just getting his groove on the rest of the song.

  45. A.... S....

    i like that ring toneI wana use it

  46. G.... B....

    Bravissima. Love from italy.

  47. D.... L....

    This is so me with headphones on >->

  48. L.... R....

    ♥♥♥

  49. K.... H....

    U2 say 'Get on yer boots'...maybe...for this kinda song isays 'gets on yer awesome sox!' Pure crush delinquent of fear. Can't stop drumming my core into some serious and much needed dance-craveable weight-loss!

  50. d.... ....

    I feel like this song so far that i've heard is the closest she's gotten to the Speak For Yourself days, and this makes me nostalgic all the more for it. I wish i could be her DX

  51. 9.... ....

    dat build

  52. I.... C....

    Absolute masterclass !

  53. K.... G....

    that pigeon's got moves

  54. P.... F....

    Intoxicating!

  55. J.... ....

    shes her own ringtone lol

    J.... ....

    I want that ringtone tbh...

    J.... ....

    Sam Breuer you can! https://twitter.com/imogenheap/status/248184575635906560

    J.... ....

    I loved that ringtone so much, I bought it ...

  56. H.... O....

    How can 22 people dislike this?

  57. B.... C....

    I want to see her and Jonna Lee of iamamiwhoami have a dance off. And, yknow, collaborate on music. BUT FIRST WITH THE DANCING!

  58. R.... V....

    She's a f...' genius!!

  59. E.... A....

    Love both the song AND the video. As someone who has lived in NYC for years I really enjoyed her tour through some of the most well-known parts of the city. It bothers and confuses me that such a quality track/video by a super-talented artistshas so few views - it says something about the state of society currently and the lack of appreciation for things of depth and substance.

  60. D.... C....

    I couldn´t face the music <3

  61. T.... S....

    great song!

  62. S.... ....

    This woman is the coolest person in the world.

    S.... ....

    Right? She is like embodiment of I don´t care I will do me!

    S.... ....

    Pretty much, especially shooting videos around all of my hang outs.

  63. b.... ....

    This is the dance I do after I get laid. Haha

  64. Y.... R....

    She's original and a true artist!

  65. P.... ....

    god... this is just what i do ... wen i take my walk to no where with ear phones on ... :)

  66. D.... M....

    Good, good, goo-oo-d, and BED, BED BED. Yes, I think that bed is quite good. Especially 'cause you're jumping on it and having fun.

  67. M.... C....

    Am I the only one that wants the same ringtone?

    M.... C....

    I have it - it's on I tunes ✔️

    M.... C....

    OMG how do I search for this ringtone on iTunes?

    M.... C....

    K P just search Imogen heap and look in the ringtones section. If you can't find it the ringtone itself is called "someone's calling".

  68. J.... v....

    I'm gay but I'm kinda in love with Imogen

    J.... v....

    I'm not gay and I really enjoy her music.

    J.... v....

    Pulsate / Túrion what's not to love, she can't really sing, but it's still good. She is anachronism

    J.... v....

    I never thought I'd find a comment that summed up my entire being so well

    J.... v....

    I realized I was gay because of Imogen Heap

    J.... v....

    you should be! In love with her...not gay lol! I mean, whatever floats your boat. But yeah...not what I meant ;)

  69. M.... ....

    This song is the greatest expression of parting from someone you loved. I love this song! It makes me extremely happy, excited, and hopeful no matter what I'm doing.

  70. x.... ....

    3:45 till the end. How do you make something like that 😢

    x.... ....

    +kobron1559 Pure genius! :-)

    x.... ....

    Everytime I have tears in my eyes. Pure happiness!

  73. J.... J....

    I used to have that same exact ringtone from the beginning XD
    Another amazing song from the beloved Imogen!

  74. S.... C....

    Love it, love the dance moves too

  75. J.... E....

    Imogen, if your reading this, THANK YOU for this blessed talent of yours!

    I've said since the mid 2000's (& to you on Twitter) your the 21st century equivalent to Kate Bush! I understand you not liking that comment your so modest😌😌🙃😘

    Its just in A SENSE your utter uniqueness, talent, vision, like Kate, you just can't quantify what makes you YOU y'know?

    Namaste

  76. l.... ....

    She is unique!!

  77. L.... ....

    This is so freakin fabulous!!!!

    L.... ....

    +LisTheZoltar Why can't I get more of 4:15-end??? OMG

  78. M.... ....

    I'm just realizing she's just a free spirit gal. This is the first time I've seen her mv. I love this song and how she was just a happy and free gal... Dancing and jumping on her bed. This is how we should all look at life. I love her character!!!

  79. A.... J....

    0:13
    iPhone: Alright Imogen. Easy, easy! I'm fragile. Wait a minute you're still drowsy--
    0:17
    iPhone: Argh! NOOO! (CRACK)

    lol

  80. D.... R....

    Confidence is sexy, Talent is sexy, and she really is all three. Dunno why she couldnt have shot the video in England but it was great nonetheless. She is quite possibly the sixth most talented electronic sequencer-producer Ive ever heard, based on the strength of Sparks and Hide and Seek. Its just phenomenal, Im addicted and in love. Some say Im a musical 'genius', to be honest I think that word is overused. But she actually Is one. Her analytical attention to detail is just something else. She has made at least two songs that I would call timeless classics - Entanglement and Hide and Seek... possibly more. She writes great lyrics. She sequences great tracks. She writes great songs overall. She does it all herself. What a woman. Fuck Beyonce Knowles, THIS is a female role model.

    D.... R....

    +Oli Mat .... was thinking the same ....... :-)

    D.... R....

    Sixth most talented electronic sequencer - producer huh? I can think of some

    D.... R....

    "all three"

    D.... R....

    Don't know why Imogen's talent and success has to take away from Beyonce's. She stands on her own.

    D.... R....

    @Oli M Neotropic aka Riz Maslen is one for sure. Also Zanias might be in the near future if her last album is any indication.

  81. �.... ....

    4:13~luv

  82. Q.... ....

    That's art, not music.

  83. M.... G....

    How many people have walked alongside her or brushed up against her and not realized ... 8( look its one of the universe's gifts to earth....sigh :'(

    M.... G....

    I know right? I would of lost my shit meeting immy! :)♥

    M.... G....

    So true lol

  84. S.... i....

  88. L.... T....

    I am moved to tears by the end of the video, each time I watch it. It is my go to when I need an emotional release. The tears are so bitter sweet because the song is so beautiful.

  89. T.... D....

    0:09 for those of you who have foot fetish.
