Runnin

I became a runner

Like a river through your fingers

No one's catching me

We'll count one victory

Best out of three

I became a runner so they

Couldn't say she'll never fly she

Don't have wings

I didn't need them 'cause you would

Push the swing

I became a runner

To escape the fame, I still don't

Wanna play

A lion they'll never change

I became a runner

But I'm not afraid

Probably a big mistake

I never liked the cage

How could I forget you?

You're never late you're always right

There in my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe

You are my refuge

I became the runner like the words

You didn't stutter right before that jab

That's not what you meant

Now you lost a friend

I became a runner like the dream

That pulled you under just before

The day

Sure that's all that's left

Better than regret

I became a runner

Need a shoe built to last

So I can speed by the past

And never face the facts

I became a runner, oh I

I became a runner, oh I

I became a runner, oh I

I became a runner

How could I forget you?

You're never late you're always right

There in my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe

You are my refuge

Fear beats me to the punch

And my heart would know

So I would begin to run

So fast and I don't feel my feet

I'm going circles

And I can't seem to reach your hand

How could I forget you?

You're never late you're always right

There in my rescue

How could I reject you?

You are my cave that keeps me safe

You are my refuge
