about

“So She Runs” is about a young woman (the mother of the family being chronicled), who has just run away from home, and the start of a rambling, fruitless search for purpose, happiness, and contentment (literally “running to the grass that’s greener on the other side”).

lyrics

Susie is a wanderer
She brings her things along with her
In the weathered satchel she wears upon her back

On the search for something better
Little Susie’s gone and set her heart on what she lacks

So she runs
So far away
She just runs

So she runs
So far away
She just runs

Comfort, oh, she doesn’t know
If, or when, its face will show
So, Susie makes her home among the stars

Following the path a moon takes
Always gone too soon and she awakes to find her scars

So she runs
So far away
She just runs

So she runs
So far away
She just runs

Running from the shattered pieces of her broken pride
Running ‘cause her heavy heart has been opened wide
Running to the grass that’s greener on the other side

So she runs
So far away
She just runs

So she runs
So far away
She just runs
