I believe the answer is:

spills

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'runs over' is the first definition.
'spills' can be an answer for 'runs' (spilling is a kind of running). I am unsure of the 'over' bit.

'falls' is the second definition.
(spilling is a kind of falling)

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spills that I've seen before include "Pieces of rolled paper used to light a fire" , "Pieces of rolled paper used to light fires" , "Causes liquid to flow out" .)
