run for the hills

"Run For The Hills" is a song about falling for the wrong person. Tate McRae knows the guy is bad for her, but she can't resist him. She remembers how he made her feel even though she knows he'll never love her back. She's in a dilemma: Should she follow her heart or her head?

McRae sings in the chorus: The way you touch me Straight to the heart, yeah, it cuts me 'Cause I know deep down that it's Never going to be us You can hear the sadness in her voice. She's addicted to this guy who's only going to hurt her.

I'm walkin' out until I lock the door Maybe the danger's covered by the thrill 'Cause I know I should be runnin' for the hills The expression "run for the hills" is a figurative saying that signifies escaping or avoiding danger or unpleasant situations. It's often used to describe someone attempting to steer clear of something they find fearful or distasteful. The phrase is thought to have originated in the mid-19th century. In this song, McRae employs the idiom to depict her efforts to persuade herself to break away.
