Marathon Runner Lyrics - Singles - Yellow Ostrich

When I was a boy of seventeen 

I know it's mean but I 

I told my friend to give up on her dreams 

She hated me but I 

I knew the dreams were for the best of us 

and for the rest of us 

And I 

I didn't wanna share with anyone 

I need a way to see my greatest dance 

and make 'em laugh 

I could win the wars or lose the battles, too 

Whichever's true 

I can live in other people's lives 

I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes 

I love them 'til I leave 

I am a marathon runner 

And my legs are sore 

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for 

I am a hot air balloon 

On a sailboat 

I wouldn't make this my home 

If I'd learned to float 

So take my trash 

Just take my earthly life 

I'll try to cry 

I will live without the things I love the best 

So hold them to your chest 

I lose my face 

Just lose my stolen wigs 

The heads of kings 

I run until I know what to believe 

[Bridge] 

I am a marathon runner 

And my legs are sore 

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for 

I am a hot air ballon 

On a sailboat 

I wouldn't make this my home 

if I learned to float 

I am a marathon runner 

And my legs are sore 

And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for 

I am a hot air ballon 

On a sailboat 

I wouldn't make this my home 

if I learned to float
