about

A breakup song, which, through vivid snapshots, captures what it means to fall out of love and come to terms with losing 'your person'. LIAS dives deep and takes you with him into the relatable void of heartbreak. Searching for answers while the foundations of the familiar crumble, leading to inevitable realizations: when the going gets rough, the only thing left to do is run boy run.

With the release of this single, LIAS invites you on a very personal journey of what it means to evolve – through spirals of depression, disorientation, fractured relationships – towards a stronger, more resilient, more assured self. Run Boy Run is the first single of an EP that will be released, song by song, over the coming months, inviting us to get lost and revel in the emotional tides of his personal story.

lyrics

RUN BOY RUN

Was it in November
I cannot recall
Time it moves so slowly
Or does it move at all?

First we built our castle
Then we watched it fall
Ended up with nothing
Thought we had it all

Finger on the trigger
Hand on the gun
Feels like winter
Has only begun

Baby
Doesn’t it make you cry?
Because it makes me cry!

Tell me I’ll get through
Cause I’m barely holding on
People always say
Give it time and you’ll move on
I can’t figure out
What the hell I’m doing wrong

All that I know is
Run boy boy run

I could paint a picture
See it in my mind
But couldn’t fight the way it
Faded over time

There's nothing like the movies
No crying in the rain
There’s no pretty soundtrack
And the credits never came

Finger on the trigger
Hand on the gun
Feels like winter
Has only begun

Baby
Doesn’t it make you cry?

I couldn’t tell you
Where it went wrong
Sometimes I don’t know
Where the feeling comes from

But Baby
Doesn’t it make you cry?
Because it makes me cry!

Tell me I’ll get through
Cause I’m barely holding on
People always say
Give it time and you’ll move on
I can’t figure out
what the hell I’m doing wrong

All that I know is
Run boy boy run

Tell me I’ll get through
Cause I’m barely holding on
People always say
Give it time and you’ll move on
I can’t figure out
What the hell I’m doing wrong

All that I know is
Run boy boy run

Run boy boy run

Run boy boy run
