Marathon

Staring out at the city skylights
A marathon is going down the street
And we're all racing for our own reasons
And sometimes in the middle we all meet
On this long raid home
On this long race home
Into another fork in the road
That's where we decided to part
And no one said anything for hours
We were under the same familiar stars
On this long road home
On this long road home
And we all want to belong
To something more than
More than ourselves
'Cause you can't always
Do it alone
Sometimes you just need
Need a little help
On this long way home
On this long way home
And, oh, I ran so far
That I forgotten what I was running from
And time it takes you so far
And I am longing to be back home
On this long way home
On this long way home
On this long way home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
