RUN TO YOU
A haunting blend of West Texas grit and late-night soul, "Run To You" captures the moment where a guarded heart finally decides to stop retreating. It’s an anthem for those tired of being alone and ready to finally lean into something real.
IN BEE'S WORDS
"This song was born from all of those late-night road trips in college, from going to see a friend to going to see a concert. In this particular case I may have been crushing on this one boy, and I had a bad day, and I just needed to see him. I love how the song keeps building through the second verse, echoing the anticipation you feel when you're driving to see someone you really need to see.
"My two favorite lines in the song are Forty dollars let's see what that'll do/Large coffee, half a tank, and some nicotine chews and If I hit traffic I'll get out and run. Those two lines just seem to wrap up what those late night road trips are all about."
This was a lot lower on my register than most of my other songs, but I thought it was necessary to get the grittiness we were looking for.
THE FORGE FACT
We had a pretty good idea what we were looking for in this song in capturing that longing you have when you just have to see that certain someone and you can't wait a second longer. When we first ran this song through Suno, though, it was way too bright and cheery. We had to adjust the prompts several times to get that grit and night time tension we were looking for, but I think we found it. With elements of rock and blues as well as both modern and classic country, we are excited to have Run to You be the first single for Bee.
THE LYRICS
Clock on the dash says 3:38
I pull off this dark interstate
Cold is a shock as I open the door
See my breath in the air, head for the store
Hold my skirt down as i run inside
I woulda changed if i'd been clear eyed
Trucker told me "hey girl you look fine"
Rolled my eyes and went straight to the line line
Forty dollars let's see what that'll do
Large coffee, half a tank, and some nicotine chews
Hurry back to the truck, in the cab I'm gone
Haven't seen you in oh so long
I've gotta run run run run to you
I need to be with you, you know just what to do
I've gotta chase chase chase my foolish heart
You've always been the one right from the start
Speed limit isn't really my concern
Time is short I got rubber to burn
Not really sure I should be doing this
But I'd do anything just for your kiss
Pictures of you running through my mind
Heart's beating fast no time to unwind
Last time I saw you was way too long
Dont know how my feelings got so strong
Clocks ticking now I'm racing the sun
If I hit traffic I'll get out and run
Turn on your street almost lose my head
There's nowhere I'd want to be instead
I've gotta run run run run to you
I need to be with you, you know just what to do
I've gotta chase chase chase my foolish heart
You've always been the one right from the start
I've gotta run run run run to you
I need to be with you, you know just what to do
I've gotta chase chase chase my foolish heart
You've always been the one right from the start
I've gotta run run run run
I've gotta run run run run
I've gotta run run run run to you
