You love to run
Into the arms of anyone
Take off your shoes and socks and stay awhile

You like the adrenaline rush
Just a little too much
You go from day to day, hand to mouth
And wonder why you′re unsatisfied

CAUSE LOVE IS A MARATHON
THAT′S WHY YOU GET TIRED SO FAST OF EVERYONE
SLOW DOWN AND PACE YOURSELF
′CAUSE WHEN IT′S GOOD
ITS A LONG OPEN ROAD

You think still
You′ll find a soul behind a thrill
You′re just a cat chasing your tail round and round
But if you relax
Something might last

CAUSE LOVE IS A MARATHON
THAT′S WHY YOU GET TIRED SO FAST OF EVERYONE
SLOW DOWN AND PACE YOURSELF
′CAUSE WHEN IT′S GOOD
ITS A LONG OPEN ROAD

You′re exhausted
Always counting down
While trying to come up for air
Trying to act like you just don′t care

CAUSE LOVE IS A MARATHON
THAT′S WHY YOU GET TIRED SO FAST OF EVERYONE
SLOW DOWN AND PACE YOURSELF
′CAUSE WHEN IT′S GOOD
