Lyrics Long Distance Runner - Matt Nathanson

Long Distance Runner

Grew up believing love was a grudge
And home was a place where you lived with your guard up
People keep saying memories fade
Mine are all drunk and they just keep calling
Well i hear the gun go off
Crowd go wild
You’re still here
Mile after mile
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And i’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
I need some music, I need some sleep
I need a lover, somebody to move me
Takes me forever and ever to see
The good in the people sho see the good in me
Well i hear the gun go off
Crowd go wild
You’re still here
Mile after mile
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And i’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
And i hear the gun go off
Thunder crack
And my head says go
Don’t ever look back
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And i’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
