I became a runner Like a river through your fingers No one's catching me We'll count one victory Best out of three I became a runner so they Couldn't say she'll never fly she Don't have wings I didn't need them 'cause you would Push the swing I became a runner To escape the fame, I still don't Wanna play A lion they'll never change I became a runner But I'm not afraid Probably a big mistake I never liked the cage How could I forget you? You're never late you're always right There in my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge I became the runner like the words You didn't stutter right before that jab That's not what you meant Now you lost a friend I became a runner like the dream That pulled you under just before The day Sure that's all that's left Better than regret I became a runner Need a shoe built to last So I can speed by the past And never face the facts I became a runner, oh I I became a runner, oh I I became a runner, oh I I became a runner How could I forget you? You're never late you're always right There in my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge Fear beats me to the punch And my heart would know So I would begin to run So fast and I don't feel my feet I'm going circles And I can't seem to reach your hand How could I forget you? You're never late you're always right There in my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge
