On The Run (I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman) Lyrics

[Verse 1: k-os]
I'm on the run, for my life
It's seems that everything that you said was right
Has come undone, lost my sight
But have you ever thought you've done your best
When you were under the gun, that's right
I know I've seen this place before, but it's never been so fun
Never been so fun

[Chorus]
I've been on the run
This Shadow weighs a ton
It's starting to make sense to me
I can't really make you love me
No I can't really make you love me
I've been on the run
Shadow weighs a ton
I know I found a recipe, for me
But I can't really make you love me
(Oh no, you know I)
No I can't really make you love me

[Verse 2: Saukrates]
You know I'm haunted on overseas
Haunted on each coast
Play them like Ebenezer
I made them see the ghost

Back from the future donned in Japanese kimonos
Even though the streets show love to try to see me grow
I often see me floating, but my shadow it weighs a ton
Call it baggage, I use it all to advantage
But I can't make you love me
This time it's on you
And you can't try to deny, these words when they're true
I'm on the run
[Chorus]
I've been on the run
This Shadow weighs a ton
It's starting to make sense to me
I can't really make you love me
No I can't really make you love me
I've been on the run
Shadow weighs a ton
I know I found a recipe, for me
But I can't really make you love me
(Oh no, you know I)
No I can't really make you love me

[Verse 3: k-os]
Let's gets a steppin
Your tongue is like a weapon
This is Kheaven from heaven and yet
So are ye, since the age of seventeen
I've been taking apart microphones
You've been taking apart men you've blown
And throwing skeleton bones
In the closet, animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat between us
But you needs a woman's glorious diamonds I'm a defeatist
Carry my fetus
I'm like the man in the moon, when we kiss then you swoon
On the run
[Chorus]
I've been on the run
This Shadow weighs a ton
It's starting to make sense to me
I can't really make you love me
No I can't really make you love me
I've been on the run
Shadow weighs a ton
I know I found a recipe, for me
But I can't really make you love me
(Oh no, you know I)
No I can't really make you love me

[Outro]
I can't really make you love me
I can't really make you love me
I can't really make you love me
I can't really make you love me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
