Andrew W.K. – Runner lyrics

Inside the locker room
Outside the rain is pouring down
We're hiding from the storm
And talking softly

Then without looking up
You said to me
That you may not come back again

And then you looked at me
The stormy rain was in your eyes
And you were so sincere
And full of sadness

I had no words to say
And what could I have done
To make you stay with me?

The passing time and the passing seasons
Keep going past me and I keep rolling
I have no shadow of doubt
A strong wind blows

And we run
And we run
The sweat pours down
But we keep on a running
And forget our pain

If we get to that place
And cross that line
I'll get down on my knees
And tell you how I feel

Remember all the times
We snuck into the school yard
Our days a treasure still
A time together

We laid upon the grass
We counted stars upon our backs
And sailed away

Your thoughts are on your mind
Those secret words i'll never hear
And then you looked at me and
Smiled slightly
Will you now walk away
And leave this room forever
Without looking back?

My heart was broken
With words unspoken
This simple boy
Had his love rejected
My dreams have always been
Oh so far away from me

And we run
And we run
The sweat pours down
But we keep on a running
And forget our pain

If we get to that place
And cross that line
I'll get down on my knees
And tell you how I feel

But today we are here
And we still run
We can see where we're going
By the light of the sun

We were too hot to speak
Too hot for words
We were speechless in the rain
Upon that long, hot day
