Re: Running
I wonder if PJ has ever thought of any of their songs, internally, as "punk."

Got me diving, got me diving
Got me deep, I get the bends
When I’m summoned, or too late coming

I’m feeling done in, it’s rather stunning
Was cleared for,... for lift off
Aborted my,... take off
Living in the shadows,...
Crossing my fingers
A date with the gallows,...
And a reprieve not looking likely
You got me running

I know we live in a world where there's a divide on whether or not context matters, but it still matters to me.

Re: Running
Honestly, reframing this song to be about the endless grind of parenting may bring it to 3 stars status.

Re: Running
The second half of this song (from the start of the bridge) is at least 1.5 stars better than the first half.

Re: Running
Legit my favorite part of the song is "let the fucking water running"
It makes me so happy
