We're running a race
And you're catching up
Where is the finish?
Nobody knows
I want it to stop,
But you don't
let it end
'til you've beat me again.
And even then don't let go
Of the face that won't say no.
You tell me I love you,
I tell you I don't.
I don't want to see you
Til you're out of sight.
You tell me again, and again and again
Until I agree and we're running again
But this time I can't let go
Of the dream I had without you
Everyone in the world,
Except you
Knows that this should end
And really soon
I know this too, but I listen to you
Who says, "Get in the swing, and work on this thing!"
But one day, maybe I'll know
That I can be one by myself.
So I'll run, until I can stop,
But then maybe next time
I won't start running again.
