In "where are we running from?", Haiden Henderson confronts a partner who has grown distant and evasive, biting their lip on the phone while old wounds keep them hiding. He asks them to stop running from a past that hurt them, insisting he will follow even if they jump off a cliff. The repeated question frames love as a chase through fear, where honesty is the only way out. Wanting them fully, he refuses to be cut off, hoping they will finally show him the way through the maze.
where are we running from? Lyrics by Haiden Henderson
(Where are we running from?)
On the phone, you bite your lip
Where have you gone?
My spidey senses, something’s wrong
Yeah, you know, you know
You cut your nose to spite your face
You won’t scare me away
All I want is you
Call me selfish, I guess
Can you see my roots?
You’re a dead-end
Don’t cut me off
Too scared to say something I can’t take
Just shoot straight, where are we running from?
Your heart’s a maze, just show me the way
My shoes laced, where are we running from?
Where are we running from?
Where are we running from?
Know that we both got a story before us
And maybe yours ended when somebody hurt you
It seemed to me sometimes that somebody was you
I do it too, we got so much in common
All I want is you
Call me helpless, I guess
Can you see my roots?
You’re a dead-end
Don’t cut me off
Too scared to say something I can’t take
Just shoot straight, where are we running from?
Your heart’s a maze, just show me the way
My shoes laced, where are we running from?
Where are we running from?
Where are we running from?
Jump off the cliff, I’m right behind
Hide where you’ve been, I wonder why
Jump off the cliff, I’m right behind
Hide where you’ve been, I wonder why
You’re scared to say something I can’t take
Just shoot straight, where are we running from?
Your heart’s a maze, just show me the way
My shoes laced, where are we running from?
