i'd fly it on balloons
the weight of our misfortune
it'd come crashing down too soon
on some poor guy's lawn or thru his roof
you'd say the same of me, i'm sure
smudge memories so they blur
afraid to see the past
we are running nowhere and running fast

i ran to keep you dry
from the rain i tried to hide you
i doubt it did much good
but i tried my best, and you understood
its the good ones that make me sad
bad memories, you can have them
i've got enough to last
we are running nowhere and running fast

all i can do is run faster for you
i've tried to forget you love,
but i love you, love. i do.
i told you i was sad, babe.
you just said "its true"
but all i can do is run faster for you...

i've been running for my life
i have never been elected
i found a place to hide,
but hiding's always been expected
if i could go anywhere,
i'd go to way back when
when you were all my love
when you were my good friend
when i thought we'd race the world to last..
we were running nowhere and running fast.

all i can do is run faster for you
i've tried to forget you love,
but i love you, love. i do.
i told you i was sad, babe.
you just said "its true"
but all i can do
all i can do...
is run faster for you...
