Marathon Runner Lyrics

(Intro)
(Verse)
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 didn't wanna share with anyone
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 live in other peoples' lives
I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes
I love them 'til I leave
(Chorus)
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 ball0on
On a sailboat
I would make this my home if I'd learned to float
So take my treasures, 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 will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs,
The heads of kings
I will 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 ball0on
On a sailboat
I would make this my home if I'd 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 ball0on
On a sailboat
I would make this my home if I'd learned to float
