Pentatonix - Run To You Lyrics






A light in the room
It was you who was standing there
Tried it was true
As your glance met my stare

But your heart drifted off
Like the land split by sea
I tried to go, to follow
To kneel down at your feet

I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you

I've been settling scores
I've been fighting so long
But I've lost your war
And our kingdom is gone

How shall I win back
Your heart which was mine
I have broken bones and tattered clothes
I've run out of time

I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
Whoa, oh, oh

I will break down the gates of heaven
A thousand angels stand waiting for me,
Oh, take my heart and I'll lay down my weapons
Break my shackles to set me free

I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
I'll run (I'll run), I'll run (I'll run), I'll run, run to you

Mm, mm, mm, mm

Pentatonix Run To You Comments
  1. D.... M....

    Bassline is perfection as always.

  2. M.... A....

    Somehow the phrasing makes me think of the influence that the great late Joseph Shabalala and Ladyship Black Mandala had on American groups -- in the best possible way. I really like these guys.

  3. S.... ....

    Avi jumping octaves with perfect timing and blending: *_P A R K O U R_*

  4. J.... M....

    Absolutely beautiful and very moving.

  5. L.... S....

    They don't sing like that anymore. With this care and attention to eachother's resonance, with full of subtle emotions

  6. V.... V....

    What? Not the Whitney song? ... Lame :(

  7. A.... W....

    I had never listened to this, but i can say now, i knew it wasn’t Matt after that first bass note

  8. M.... J....

    That one is my favorite

  9. M.... ....

    Ouch. Nothing tortures humans so sweetly and completely as unrequited love. When every other faculty assesses a situation and knows to tell you to slink away unnoticed, Unrequited love shoves you into the spotlight and demands production of another elaborate shitshow of devotion.

  10. C.... ....

    Homestuck brought me here

  11. M.... P....

    I am convinced that one of the members of Pentatonix died and went to heaven, the case back to life and wrote down whatever they recalled hearing.

    This is the closest thing they could manage.

  12. o.... ....

    I want to sing this at my funeral

  13. P.... A....

    Amazing 😍😍😍

  14. I.... T....

    🤗😘😘😘💖💖💖

  15. R.... F....

    m.... ....

    and I was pleasantly surprised

    m.... ....

    Not me 😁

  19. p.... ....

    I dont even know what this song is about but I have tears in my eyes

  20. A.... H....

    december 2019 ???

  21. O.... K....

    Best Seek'n'Destroy remix to date.

  22. W.... W....

  34. H.... E....

    I remember my 8th grade year my choir class did this. Probably one of the best songs I've ever performed during my time in choir as we nailed the 5 part harmony.

  35. K.... T....

  36. s.... l....

    Still my favorite...the lyrics, the tears...those voices...mercy

  37. E.... ....

    Avi is here literally jumping up and down octaves like its no one's business

    E.... ....

    @minebros tj for you, yes. As a bass, I say that the bass life is where it's at.

    E.... ....

    @Lines and Circles used to be a tenor (like up in mitch's range) but I'm really trying to train myself in bass and coming from both sides, bass is where it's at

    E.... ....

    MegaPowGaming ur prob a baritone then. keep working!

    @Ty Smith our bass' literally love this. And as a Soprano i freaking love going down as low as E

    E.... ....

    Я скучаю по нему 😔

    Emotional people beware.

    That free cord will force the tears out of you... literally.

  41. c.... c....

    Avi came to sing with my choir

  42. L.... M....

    The hums always get me 😩

  43. H.... ....

    Everytime i listen to this song i cant help but to close my eyes and cry. The amount of feeling and emotional connection they put in this is just amazing. U could just tell how much trust they had in each other

  44. b.... ....

    Thank you for singing this song at Ravinia. It has meant a great deal to me. I almost died. I guess I'd call it a "near death experience." There was light and darkness and a mixture of the two. I was hurling toward this vast darkness and on a strip of brilliant light in front of this darkness stood my Grandmama. She made a banishing gesture like in the Lord of the rings-- like "You shall not pass" and I went hurling back into my body and there was a million people in my hospital room. They had called a code blue on me...but I lived and will fight to do so. When I next see my Grandmama, it WILL be my time and I WILL RUN into her open arms and cross into the light. Thank you, Grandmama and thank you, God. I love you.
    We got tickets for your Christmas concert in Rosemont, IL and I can't wait to see you again. You bring joy to the world and joy brings hope and this world needs all the hope it can get. Thank you, Pentatonix. Thank you.

  45. x.... B....

    A nigga on Xbox told me to listen to this and I gotta say it reminds me of the one time I gave my teacher a kidney stone

  46. S.... A....

    1:13 What chord is that?

  47. A.... N....

    How many tears would you like the audience to shed while listening to this?

    Pentatonix: yes

  48. N.... R....

    I love avi : ) I also love being a contrabass

  49. S.... ....

    Anyone else here from Morgan fire emblem?

  50. S.... W....

    Was anyone else singing along to this song?

  51. E.... J....

  58. C.... L....

    A bit of a sad story but.. my mother was a vocal jazz teacher for about 20 years, one of her last performances was this at a wedding. This song makes me burst into tears every time I hear it.

    A light in the room
    It was you who was standing there
    Tried it was true
    As your glance met my stare.
    But your heart drifted off
    Like the land split by sea
    I tried to go, to follow,
    To kneel down at your feet
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you
    I've been settling scores
    I've been fighting so long
    But I've lost your war
    And our kingdom is gone
    How shall I win back
    Your heart which was mine
    I have broken bones and tattered clothes
    I've run out of time
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you, oh
    I will break down the gates of heaven
    A thousand angels stand waiting for me
    Ooh take my heart (take my heart)
    And I'll lay down my weapons
    Break my shackles to set me free
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you
    I'll run (I'll run), I'll run (I'll run)
    I'll run run to you
    Mmh-mmh mmh-mmh mmh-mmh mmh

  68. A.... R....

    Mitch Grassi has, by far, one of the sexiest and prettiest lips/teeth combo I've ever seen!

  69. g.... ....

    Does anyone know if there is any meaning to the flurries rising instead of falling during a few sections of the vid?

    g.... ....

    so everybody can interpret the lyrics as they feel like to interpret. Seen comments about unrequited love, about lost loved ones, parents, etc, it really depends what feeling these chords pulling from You. Considering all members are religious, I think the flakes floating upward is the desire to go to heaven, either to run to God or reunion with a passed loved one, but then the flakes are falling down, to earth again. "not yet." "We are still in this side" Acceptance, maybe even a bit of resignation. These came in my mind.
    Such a simple yet powerful visual idea complementing the already beautiful song, right? :')

  70. G.... B....

    Check out this version of the song: https://youtu.be/YaCsnNfVfHc

  71. b.... f....

    Im praying for you all

  72. J.... S....

    [Verse 1]
    A light in the room
    It was you who was standing there
    Tried, it was true
    As your glance met my stare
    But your heart drifted off
    Like the land split by sea
    I tried to go, to follow
    To kneel down at your feet

    [Chorus]
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you

    [Verse 2]
    I've been settling scores
    I've been fighting so long
    But I've lost your war
    And our kingdom is gone
    How shall I win back your heart
    Which was mine?
    I have broken bones
    And tattered clothes
    I've run out of time

    [Chorus]
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you


    [Bridge]
    Oh, I will break down the gates of heaven
    A thousand angels stand waiting for me
    Oh take my heart and I'll lay down my weapons
    Break my shackles to set me free

    [Chorus]
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you
    I'll run, I'll run, I'll run, run to you

    J.... S....

    Thank you.....

  73. J.... S....

    Sooooo goooood ❤️

  74. A.... M....

    Is beatiful

  75. N.... L....

    This reminds me a lot of Sleep by Eric Whitacre

  76. R.... P....

    Is this an original?

  77. E.... F....

    Yinz gotta do run to you by lady antebellum

  78. S.... ....

    I remember becoming a #fanboi of ptx when they first debuted their history of music some *definitely insignificant* number of years ago. Loved their arrangement then, and most every other performance they've worked on since has been no exception.


    Ah, but this one. This one is special. This one employs each member in tandem. No bass rhythm; no percussion; just pure, unadulterated harmonizing. It's impressive that each member can be heard distinctly if you listen closely/often enough, and it comes off as a more earnest expression of what I look for in a capella.

  79. Q.... ....

    No matter how many times I've listened to this song, it always manages to make me cry. This is the only song that has managed to make me cry everytime I hear it. Its so good.

  80. A.... ....

    My school Acappella group did this song and it sounded so amazing! Thank you guys so much for creating this masterpiece❤️

  81. r.... s....

    I’m sat here with tears in my eyes.

  82. M.... ....

    I miss Avi... 😢

  83. f.... m....

    Avi is forever in our heart though he's not dead 😂 we all miss the time where he was in ptx but have to move on and look forward 😢

    f.... m....

    Saw Avi in Nashville this year, small venue. Totally awesome no matter what he does.

    f.... m....

    for me it's 2020...
    and I miss him terribly !!!!!!

  84. D.... H....

    AVIIIII,,, still love every minute of PTX, but have to say, never been the same post-AVI

  85. A.... M....

    Who sang this?

    A.... M....

    It's an original written by Avi & Kevin

    A.... M....

    @Yolanda Jones oh ok nice thank u

  86. E.... T....

  87. E.... T....

    THIS GIVES ME THE CHILLS EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.😍

  88. A.... H....

    Anyone know chord at 1:13

  89. K.... ....

    This song makes me relax, I sing it when I’m tired or stressed. It almost makes me cry too. Thank you. I found this song only because of you guys and this version is my favorite

  90. J.... R....

    literally in love with this song. They are so into it!!

  91. T.... H....

    2:44
    ....
    It’s so beautiful...

  92. j.... ....

    Overwhelmed with emotion when I hear this song.........Is it true Avi & Keven wrote this? I have since seen Avi lead an entire choir of college students sing this ......I cried......so beautiful.........He is something special is Avi Kaplan.....

    j.... ....

    Yes Avi & Kevin wrote it :)

    j.... ....

    @Mandy Kruse wow! They did?? A M A Z I N G

  93. e.... ....

    Just heard them do this in concert with no mics in a 3000+ person arena....it was absolutely magical

    e.... ....

    i got to hear them do that as well.. definitely my favorite part of the show

  94. M.... ....

    I, for some reason, cannot get enough of this song. Maybe it's because I was a vocalist in a couple of groups in school, maybe it's because I'm a Pentaholic, but I could listen to this on repeat for... well, ever basically... Am I weird? Probably.
