Run-around.
Can anyone tell me in their own words what they think the song Run-Around by Blues Traveler is about? I've looked up the song meanings, but I just wanted to see what other people thought it was about. Thanks, this is my favorite song!

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I had the same question about three years ago.
The explanation I found at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) (the first one) was good enough for me when I looked at the lyrics and it made sense.
"And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully"
He "lie[s]" and says he "[doesn't] mind" that she doesn't want to be with him. He'll still be her friend, and "be [t]here" for her, but he fears he still can't hold back his true feelings.
"Hey baby let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well"
Once again, he wants more than he can have -- she's just out of reach. He's so close to her as a friend but, of course, it's so close but so far away from what he really wants.
"I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take"
At the end of the song, time has elapsed, and he still is mad with love for her, he's can't "shake" his dream.
The "run-around" is just the roller coaster of emotions she's taken him on.
