Lyrics
I like people who I can open up to
Who don't judge for what I say, but judge me for what I do
And when I think of people I look up to
My runner, my runner, my man
My runner, my runner, my man
I laugh when you say the wrong thing
Mouthing off to everybody else but me
They hit you with the rolled up magazine
My runner, my runner, my man
My runner, my runner, my man
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)
What's a couple grand rolled up in your pocket
I won't tell nobody, baby you don't tell nobody
Yes I have done a couple bad things
Yes I have done a couple bad things
Yes I have done a couple bad things
Yes I have done a couple
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)
(Load it up know your trigger like the back of my hand)
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)
(Load it up, know your trigger like the back of my hand)

Reminds me of the music that would play on the bus on my way to school in the early 2000’s.

Yes, it’s Runaway Train by Soul Asylum with a few changes.

As a 26 year old. This is a very good comment to see as I start the song.

I will start barking when the new Alex releases. He is my man.

This song grew on me so hard. Can't wait for the album.

This song helps me to fight my depression ❤

When I first heard this song I didn’t like it, but I went back and listened to it again and now it’s one of my favorite songs.

[@growingpains1239]

[@NamelessWarning]

LOVE this. So looking forward to the new Aleg G record.

I remember listening to this song when me and my childhood best friend reconnected after seven years of being apart. The night we saw each other, we kissed. It was my first kiss, and it was incredible. The very night we reunited, we started dating. I talked to him on discord and I sent him this song and from then on, it’s been “our song”. I always associate the lyrics “I won’t tell nobody, baby you don’t tell nobody” with me and him and our forbidden love. Both of our parents are catholic and his mom isn’t supportive of us dating, but my mom is. 4 months later, we’re still together and in love. The childlike wonder hasnt faded a bit. We plan on dancing to this at our wedding. I love you, my boat nerd!!!❤❤❤ Update: he dumped me.

i'm sorry honey, do u wanna talk about it? :( my heart goes out to u

Literally just finished blasting Change and came here to see this 😁

No one can tell anyone else that a song can't remind them of another song, but I'm old enough to have lived through a time when Runaway Train by Soul Asylum was inescapable on MTV. For a good few months they seriously played it every 15 minutes. The verses start in a similar key and both songs are about the same tempo, but if you can't hear the difference between Alex G's vague bittersweet melancholy and Soul Asylum's vapid uninspired whining, your favorite Italian restaurant is probably Olive Garden.

what an elitist, defensive remark there's no escaping the obvious: both songs have essentially the same verse melodies, and it doesn't help that both songs share the same key I'm a long time Alex g fan but this is the cold fact of it (still love the song's lyrical theme) and condescending to people who make the observation is dorky fanboy behavior

[@BobDad64]

I concur.

[@yousmokemid]

this sounds so much like Soul Asylum - Runaway Train at parts haha

[@jay50331]

Thats because i think, this is just a wild guess, that alex g took inspiration from that song.

[@himalia7884]

I miss my runner :/

[@himalia7884]

Why are ppl saying this sounds like runaway train?? I don’t hear it at all 😭

[@baldpi7821]

[@esperanza5I]

Wow! Vapid comments. Soul Asylum? Wasn’t once reminded of Runaway Train. And I liked that song. Whatever. You’re the experts. Not me. Maybe vapid was the wrong word. Is hokey better?

[@jeffreysharkey8448]

Sorry, I'm an old guy that used to drum to Soul Asylums Run Away Train - sounds like a copy to me?

[@lucienmirage2286]

[@xxx_0ra1n]

They just copied runaway trains tempo

so the fuck what if they did? so many things are derivative and alex has already earned his stripes in originality. just enjoy things without finding some bullshit reason to shit on everything

This reminds me of a bad Eminem mix, music way too loud to hear the vocals. Disapointing.

[@josephschofield4210]

the mix sounds absolutely fine to me

[@oliviab6882]

usually the vocals are quieter in some sections of his songs anyway, I feel like it’s an intentional choice
