Norah Jones - Running Lyrics

Norah Jones Lyrics

"Running"

From the first time I felt the click in my heart
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)
Try to sleep but the aching tears me apart
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)

Oh am I wasting the day?
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)
Oh does it hurt me to stay?
(I keep running, oh 'cause I don't wanna pay)

Stars shine but start to fade in the light
Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right
In a bind telling myself it's for you

For you...
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey hey hey hey
For you...
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey hey

In the night the devil knocks on my door
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)
Another life and the same thing happened before
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)

Oh and he begs me to stay
(I keep running, oh I keep running away)
Oh will he take me away?
(I keep running, oh 'cause I don't wanna pay)

Stars shine but start to fade in the light
Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right
In a bind telling myself it's for you

For you...
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey hey hey hey
For you...
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey hey hey hey
For you...
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey hey

"Running" is the first single from Norah Jones's ninth studio album, "Visions". The song was released via Blue Note Records on January 19, 2024, accompanied by the music video directed by Joelle Grace Taylor.

Norah Jones told in a statement about her inspiration while recording this song and the album it belongs to, "The reason I called the album 'Visions' is because a lot of the ideas came in the middle of the night or in that moment right before sleep, and 'Running' was one of them where you're half-asleep and kind of jolted awake."
