lyrics

When you were young
you learned you could go fast
Pounding the pavement,
every recess
Step after step
foot follows foot
The streets and the alleyways
of your neighborhood

You were chasing the beat of your heart and the feeling
When you run...

When we fell in love
You made me dizzy
I almost couldn’t keep up,
but that was part of the mystery
And now the mystery is gone
But the feeling is stronger
Mile after mile, day after day
You know the road just gets longer

But you make me remember the thrill of the chase
And my racing heart
When you run.....

Oh and in my dreams at night, you’re racing ahead of me
And in my dreams at night, I’m part of the scenery

Am I in your way?
I always wonder
If I’m slowing you down
When we’re together
We got stuck in a life
On tracks and on treadmills
It doesn’t matter if you’re the fastest
If you’re running in circles

And I watch you as you lace up your shoes
Knowing someday soon
You’re gonna run...
