Relient K - Runnin' Lyrics






Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
Unless I'm running for my life
Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure

So when I hear that whistle blow
That's when I know it's time to go

All I can do is run
All I can do is run
All I can do is run
Someone tell me where to
Someone tell me what from
All I can do is run

Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
Unless I'm running for my life
Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure


I can remember the days in my life
When my future looked bright back before mom had died
Before I heard dad coughing up blood in his room
And the doctor said "Son, he'll be joining her soon"

Everything changed, what was bright turned to bleak
Cause everyone seemed to get sick, 'cept for me
And my dad's final cough, where they carted me off
They stuck me in hell and they gave me a cross

And said "Son, the church is all you've got now, got now
Son, so give your life to God now, God
My son, I know you're scared, I know you're young
Just say your prayers tonight
Cause nobody's gonna come
Cause no one loves an orphan"


I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true

Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock
I got anything anybody could ever want
So I'm spending my time all on you

I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running [x6], running on home to you
And I keep on running [x6]

I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true

Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock
I got anything anybody could ever want
So I'm spending my time all on you

I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting my help to good use
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running [x6], running on home to you
And I keep on running [x6]

Relient K Runnin' Comments
  1. 1.... j....

    is thessan protistisan or catholic?

  2. T.... E....

    I'm honestly ashtonished that Relient-k isn't more popular than anything on radio. I just don't get it. Hidden gem of a band.

  3. M.... C....

    I like them... really refreshement...just RK :)

  4. a.... ....

    I can't decide if I love this or 'Man' more, they're both SO good...which is why I shamelessly repeat both multiple times (while singing and moving to the beat) before going onto the next song. lol <3

  5. B.... M....

    I need lyrics anybody

  6. K.... ....

    Just read an interview, and the second movement of this song was supposed to be on an album about an uncared for kid, and it was gonna be the lead single.

  7. K.... ....

    Simfonia!!!!!

  8. m.... ....

    the YouTube version has longer gaps between the different sections of this song - I like both versions

  9. C.... E....

    its kinda funny, for like the last three songs in a row i was like "aw man this is my favorite from this album, for sure" (listening tot he whole album for the first time), and I keep saying with every new song i get to lol

  10. S.... T....

    That's Adam Young in the background at the end! Not surprising, they sing bckgrd on each other's songs all the time

  11. R.... T....

    Dear YouTube, Please add 1000000 more Likes to this song on my behalf. Thank you.

  12. A.... ....

    God bless orphans

  13. A.... C....

    this seems to be a three-part song which is truly and simply amazing!

  14. M.... M....

    The layering, guitar distortion, and guitar solos are the best thing on this album. They all reached a new height.

  15. N.... g....

    Listen to this while running. It will change your tempo for sure! :p

    N.... g....

    I think you are running slower at the end of the song.
    Great cooling down.

  16. A.... ....

    I really love how the song starts for some reason.

  17. Z.... R....

    This new album is oh so good.

  18. T.... V....

    probably my favorite from the new album!

  19. r.... ....

    i've been listening to the album for 3x today...from first to last..crazy, i really love the songs and tunes...when matthew thiessen makes an honest lyrics, it will come out really good...finger lickin good..ha!

  20. E.... M....

    fav on the new album!! so great!

  21. I.... D....

    I really like this song, has a "Deathbed" vibe to it that I just love. :) This album as a whole has been fantastic, thank you guys very much for the amount of work and love put into this album, it truly shows. :)

    I.... D....

    I think the part around 1:40 was actually supposed to be part of that song. Deathbed is probably my all-time favorite of RelientK, and this one is amazing, too. I really love this album. :D

    I.... D....

    I loved 'Deathbed'

    I.... D....

    I always consider this Deathbed part 2 - The early years

    I.... D....

    But when did the future of the guy from Deathbed look bright?

  22. M.... L....

    I can't stop listening to this song!

  23. V.... M....

    Definitely one of my favorites...

  24. s.... ....

    yes....
