Runner Girl

(albüm: Good Ribbons - 2021)

You must be on a marathon
Was I just water on your hips?
This endless foot race wearing on
Where you can sweat me out in drips

What is your plan? whatcha doin'?
What is your plan? whatcha doin'?

You gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said, you gotta know your way around
Another one, another one, there goes another
Runner girl, take your mark and ready set
But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know
You gotta know your way around before you run
Before the starting gun

Hey, hi Pheidippides, nice Nikes
Well, did your sneakers come with wings?
You're Hermes with no messages
But still stuck on delivering

What is your final destination?
Oh, you never know, you never know, do ya now?

You gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said, you gotta know your way around
Another one, another one, there goes another
Runner girl, take your mark and ready set
But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know
You gotta know your way around before you run
Before the starting gun

Are you still chasing fictions with your laces loose?
You know a runner is a leaver, ah, but it's no use
Don't be so quick to think solution to your problems is magic marker on a map
Aren't you ever coming back?

Because you gotta know your way around
Before you run, before you run
I said, you gotta know your way around
Another one, another one, there goes another
Runner girl, take your mark and ready set
But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know
You gotta know your way around before you run
Before the starting gun
