about

Kevin McNoldy wrote the music and a lot of the lyrics for this song. He sent it to me and asked that I write the rest of the lyrics and record it for my album. Needless to say, I was beyond honored.

For anyone who's been scared of making a commitment - or - been the person in love with the person scared of making a commitment, we're sure you'll totally relate to this song.

lyrics

Ready to Run:

You've spent your whole life looking for more
One foot in and one foot out the door
Oh yeah
You're hell-bent on winning the race
But you keep running back to the starting place
Oh no
Oh no

Moving like a bolt of lightning
'Cause falling in love can be so frightening
You'd rather pack it up and start all over again
Oh you're ready to run...

We make love, next thing we're fighting
We break up in the morning, spend the night by candlelight
Oh yeah
Settling down just ain't your thing
No girl's ever gonna clip your wings, oh no
Oh no

Just when it seems true love is growing
That same old movie from your past begins showing
You get scared and start all over again
Oh you're ready to run... Oh you're ready to run again...
Oh you're ready to run... Oh you're ready to run again...

You want me to chase you every time you push me away
It’s this game we play, will it end someday?

You've spent your whole life looking for more
Baby, could you give me just one full day in your heart?
Well, that'd be a start...

Oh you're ready to run... Oh you're ready to run again...
Oh you're ready to run... Oh you're ready to run again…
