Matt Nathanson - Long Distance Runner lyrics

Grew up believing love was a grudge
And home was a place where you
Lived with your guard up
People keep saying memories fade
Mine are all drunk and they just keep calling

Well I hear the gun go off crowd go wild
You’re still here mile after mile

Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind, mind, mind
Round in my mind

Oh oh miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles oh oh

I need some music, I need some sleep


I need a lover, somebody to move me
Takes me forever and ever to see
The good in the people who see the good in me

Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind

Oh oh miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles oh oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles

And I hear the gun go off thunder crack
And my head says go don’t ever look back

Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind

Oh oh miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles oh oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles oh oh
