"Running Shoes" lyrics

If I could say what's on my mind
I would draw a finish line
Hoping you'd run through
Hoping you'd run through
Darling, I'm just skin and bone
Know that one day, I'll grow old
But somehow I'll find you
But somehow I'll find you

Everything I see is black and white
Except when I look at you

Wait, don't go away too soon
I'll make my way onto you
I'll put on my running shoes
And tread, every mountain till I can't
Just for a chance to not pretend
When I close my eyes

Hurry, 'cause your seat is getting cold
And there's not much left to hold
I'm losing my grip
It's a long way from New Jersey
Singing songs to smiling faces
Different lights in different places
But you wish me well

Everything I see is black and white
Except when I look at you

Wait, don't run away too soon
I'll make my way onto you
I'll put on my running shoes
And tread, and tread
Every mountain till I can't
Just for a chance to not pretend
When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes
I don't see the light
I put up a fight, I'm holding the line
I'm taking punches till I bruise my eyes
Do you care about me still?
When you walk right out the door?
Do you still see the same boy as before?

Yes
