I became a runner
Like a river through your fingers
No one's catching me
We'll count one victory
Best out of three

I became a runner so they
Couldn't say she'll never fly she
Don't have wings
I didn't need them 'cause you would
Push the swing

I became a runner
To escape the fame, I still don't
Wanna play
A lion they'll never change
I became a runner
But I'm not afraid
Probably a big mistake
I never liked the cage

How could I forget you?
You're never late you're always right
There in my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge

I became the runner like the words
You didn't stutter right before that jab
That's not what you meant
Now you lost a friend
I became a runner like the dream
That pulled you under just before
The day

Sure that's all that's left
Better than regret
I became a runner
Need a shoe built to last
So I can speed by the past
And never face the facts

I became a runner, oh I
I became a runner, oh I
I became a runner, oh I
I became a runner

How could I forget you?
You're never late you're always right
There in my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge

Fear beats me to the punch
And my heart would know
So I would begin to run
So fast and I don't feel my feet
I'm going circles
And I can't seem to reach your hand

How could I forget you?
You're never late you're always right
There in my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge
