about

"Running in the Dark" is about the wonder of why you and a previous friend are no longer close and what could have ruined that connection.

lyrics

[Verse-1]
I’ve tried to talk to you
I’ve reached out so many times, like a fool
It seems you don’t want anything to do with me
Yet I’m still trying for your attention
I’m wondering what the hell I did
What was so bad to pretend that I don’t exist?
Tell me, what can I do to fix this?
I’m giving too much effort to fix a broken ship

[Chorus]
You were the match to my candle wick
Struck a pose, I couldn’t handle it
Now we don’t talk and I’m hating it
What happened to what we had?
Something ignited a spark in our hearts
Never thought that we’d grow this far apart
Remember when we were kids, running in the dark
How come we never finish what we start?

[Bridge]
Confided in one another during the summer
I helped you with all your anxieties
You calmed me down after feeling so pressured
I was trying to be someone I’m not meant to be
Took your tips and I still use them regularly...
I’m just asking for at least one more day...
I promise you, I’ll never make another mistake...

[Chorus]
You were the match to my candle wick
Struck a pose, I couldn’t handle it
Now we don’t talk and I’m hating it
What happened to what we had?
Something ignited a spark in our hearts
Never thought that we’d grow this far apart
Remember when we were kids, running in the dark
How come we never finish what we start?

[Refrain]
Teenage
Romance
And
Crazed
Emotions
