The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Running Out of Reasons" by the artist "Wanted, The"

The song "Running Out of Reasons" by The Wanted is about an irresistible attraction and desire to be with a girl who seems to be doubting her feelings and looking for reasons to refuse the lyrical hero.

The lyrics are full of confidence and persistence. The hero ignores the rumors and gossip, claiming that people "don't know a thing" about him. He feels the girl is making excuses ("Rip up the list you wrote") for not being with him, even though she actually wants to ("I know what you desire").

The chorus of the song emphasizes the discrepancy between the girl's words and actions. She tries to resist ("You wanna say no"), but her body betrays her true feelings ("why are your lips on my lips?"). The hero is like telling her that all her excuses are useless ("Oh, you're running out of reasons") and urges her to surrender to passion ("Let the fire burn"). He is convinced that she has already succumbed to this love ("Love, love, forget everything else").

The second verse continues the theme of exposing the girl's pretense. The hero sees her "lies" and "dodging", urging her to be honest with herself. He points out that her true feelings are obvious to everyone ("Everyone sees right through you").

In the bridge of the song, the hero urges the girl to forget her doubts and surrender to love ("Ain't nothing, ain't nothing better than this feeling, Just say yeah"). The repetition of the chorus at the end reinforces the sense of inevitability and the victory of desire over doubt.
