honey you were good for me but i can't deny my need to be free grows
i resigned myself to climb the stairs to your
winning thighs and endless prayers alone
my new-found confidence you hate, everything put down to fate
nothing less or more
it's a marathon and not a sprint
that's what we said before we quit
love should grow
should boast
i feel I'm doing time
with someone not on my side
a mystery divide
brings me close
to who I love the most
a friend from the capital came to visit
will she comfort me or does she want to gossip
who knows?
i'll take these worries to the park
i won't come home until after dark
noone will know except you of course
i'll go swimming and ride a bike
maybe turn into someone that you'd like
it's a marathon and not a sprint
that's what we said before we quit
love should grow, should boast
