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 comeing 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
