Lyrics Matt Nathanson – Long Distance Runner
Text:
Grew up believing
Love was a grudge
And home was a place
Where you lived with your guard up
People keep saying
Memories fade
Mine are all drunk
And they just keep calling
Memories fade
Mine are all drunk
And they just keep calling
Well I hear the gun go off
Crowd go wild
You’re still here
Mile after mile
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
I need some music
I need some sleep
I need a lover
Somebody to move me
Takes me forever
And ever to see
The good in the people
Who see the good in me
And I hear the gun go off
Thunder crack
And my head says go
Don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
