Song of the Day: Kelela - On The Run

Okay, this song is hot.  Intense and beautiful, as usual.  Raw and direct.

This is not the first song of hers I've added to my blog.  As I recall, I first heard her on a flight, just flipping through the artists available on the in-flight entertainment.  So glad I did.

This is my previous post:


Enough background, here's the song:

Kelela Lyrics
"On The Run"

Baby, you're out on the run, oh

Nothin' in this world could stop us right now
Nothin' in this world could make this wrong
Know you want me
I'm ready but you're takin' too long
You're tryna play it off
I'm onto you, onto you, onto you, baby

Open up, babe, to the sun
Open up, babe, we ain't done
Come out and touch the rays
Open up, babe, I'm the one
You stay on the run
But I'm onto you, I'm onto you, onto you, baby

You get around enough
Too busy actin' tough
I'ma lay it down
Come get me right now
I shouldn't have to try
Not gonna read your mind
Give me a softer side
I won't wait all night
If you come my way
I'ma want that fire (I won't wait all night)
But you're on the run
I don't wanna have a conversation
I don't wanna wait
But you know I'm all the way down
When you come my way
I'ma want that fire

Baby, you've been gone for so long
Baby, when it's on, you get so lost
You can't handle me
You love it when I'm comin' off strong
I saw you play it off
I'm onto you, onto you, onto you, baby

Open up, babe, to the sun
Open up, babe, we ain't done
Come out and touch the rays
Open up, babe, I'm the one
You stay on the run
But I'm onto you, I'm onto you, onto you, baby

You're on the run
Takin' me out on the run

When the lights go off
Get down low, wanna feel your love
Want another round?
Feels so good when we're not allowed
How you holdin' up?
I'm on the edge and I've had enough
What you doin', love?
I'm gonna wait on him but I won't wait all night

You get around enough
Too busy actin' tough
I'ma lay it down
Come get me right now
I shouldn't have to try
Not gonna read your mind
Give me a softer side
I won't wait all night
If you come my way
I'ma want that fire
But you're on the run
I don't wanna have a conversation (Not gonna wait all night, oh)
I don't wanna wait
But you know I'm all the way down
When you come my way (When you come my way)
I'ma want that fire

Bring your light and your fire
I'ma want that fire
You're on the run
Don't wait all night, don't wait all night
Don't wait all night, don't wait all night
Don't wait all night, don't wait all night
Don't wait all night, don't wait all night
Hello?
