The song "Running After You" by Peter Green Splinter Group is about a person who is infatuated with someone and constantly chasing after their attention and love. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and frustration in the pursuit of this person. The opening lines, "You give me honey, I give you money," suggest a transactional aspect to their relationship, where one person provides sweetness (metaphorically) while the other person receives material benefits. However, the narrator questions if it is wrong to desire to spend time with this person. They feel compelled to pursue them, even though it may not be reciprocated. The lyrics mention feeling blue and thinking about this person when they're not around. The phrase "don't know what's cooking with you" implies that the narrator is unsure about the other person's intentions or feelings. Despite this uncertainty, the narrator continues to chase after them, highlighting a lack of trust in the relationship. The lines, "Those big dark eyes, hiding your lies," suggest that the person being pursued may be deceitful or hiding something. Trust is essential for the narrator, but they struggle to find it in their interactions. The lyrics also express a plea for the person not to give up on the relationship. The narrator asks them not to turn their back or leave, as it would break their heart just when they were starting to build something together. Overall, "Running After You" tells a story of unrequited love, longing, and the struggles of chasing someone who may not be fully invested in the relationship. It explores themes of trust, frustration, and the complexities of human emotions.
