Runner's High Lyrics

At the setting of the sun

And as the air begins to crisp

A fog of dread and apprehension

Pulls me straight on in

But your face is my floodlight

Paving my way

Cutting through the ambiguity

And saving an otherwise miserable day

I know to you

I'm never really there at all

Just another unremarkable face

Walkin down the hall

Can't you see

It was all for you?

I wanted you to love me

But no one can know

So if someone asks why

I'll just tell 'em that

I'm chasin' the runner's high

You fill me up

With emotions I can't explain

Like this inexplicable desire

For such unobtainable things

I doused myself in pain

To be your protege

Yet we still pass each other by

Like strangers on a train

And at the competition

In that distant land

I pushed myself to tears

Just for you not to notice once again

Can't you see

It was all for you?

I wanted you to love me

But no one can know

So if someone asks why

I'll just tell 'em that

I'm chasin' the runner's high

Can't you see

It was all for you?

I wanted you to love me

But no one can know

So if someone asks why

I'll just tell 'em that

I'm chasin' the runner's high
