marathons

Still coming down
Fresh off my feet
Circling around
Just to feel anything
Take two alone
Beg for relief
The coffee is cold
But it still stains my teeth

When you see me on the floor
Am I worth saving?
Used to think I wanted more
It ain't contagious
Nothing, nothing changes

All my friends
Like to play pretend
They don't understand
Why I keep on running
Marathons in my head alone
Better here than gone
That's why I keep running for you
That's why I keep running for you
That's what I keep running for

I saw the walls
Finished and plain
Lavender blooms
On the ink of my name
Your hair's grown so long
There's lines on your face
The eyes looking back at me
Can't keep the pace

When you see me on the floor
Am I worth saving?
Used to think I wanted more
It ain't contagious
Nothing, nothing changes

All my friends
Like to play pretend
They don't understand
Why I keep on running
Marathons in my head alone
Better here than gone
That's why I keep running for you

They're laughing in the other room
A window connects the two
Watching as a face turns blue
Won't you stay here a while?
I left the mess in a pile
For you

That's why I keep running for
All my friends
Like to play pretend
They don't understand
Why I keep on running
Marathons in my head alone
Better here than gone
That's why I keep running
For you
