The song "Run" by Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan is a heart-wrenching ballad about saying goodbye to someone you love. The lyrics describe the pain of leaving someone who has been the only good thing in your life and the struggle to find the strength to move on. The song begins with Josh Groban singing about how the person he is leaving behind has been the only thing that's right in his life. He can barely look at them but every time he does, he knows they can make it anywhere away from their current situation. He urges them to "Light up, light up" and make a choice, even if they can't hear his voice, he'll be right beside them. Sarah McLachlan then takes over the vocals, singing about how hard it is to imagine not seeing the person's eyes anymore. As they say their long goodbyes, she almost can't help but cry. Together, they sing about how they'll run for their lives and be louder, even though they can hardly speak, because they understand why the other can't raise their voice to say goodbye. The overall meaning of the song is a devastating farewell to a loved one, acknowledging how hard it is to say goodbye and move on, but encouraging each other to find strength and keep going.
