Marathon Runner

When I was a boy of seventeen

I know it's mean but I

I told my friend to give up on her dreams

She hated me but I

I knew the dreams were for the best of us and for the rest of us

And I

I need a way to see my greatest dance and make them laugh

I could win the wars or lose the battles, too

Whichever's true

I can another people's live

I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes

I love until I leave

I am a marathon runner

And my legs are sore

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for

I am a hot air ballon

On a sailboat

I wouldn't make this my home if I'd learned to float

So take my trash

Just take my earthly life

I'll try to cry

I will live without the things I love the best

So hold them to your chest

I lose my face

Just lose my stolen wigs

The heads of kings

I run until I know what to believe

[Bridge]

I am a marathon runner

And my legs are sore

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for

I am a hot air ballon

On a sailboat

I wouldn't make this my home if I learned to float

I am a marathon runner

And my legs are sore

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for

I am a hot air ballon

On a sailboat

I wouldn't make this my home if I learned to float
