Lyrics for Song: Runner
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Laura Stevenson And The Cans
To give yourself a little bit of hope's a lie,
you said, "we're just spinning where we stand.
" And if you cling to tokens for your life you find
you wind up with imaginary men.
Static transmit me to the other side of another room
in pieces. Like a steady beating,
the summer hurts. The telescopic pull of what you know's
a lie, it's broken down 100,
000 times. The parts collapse,
in caving they're inside the atmosphere,
we're carving out our names into the air.
You are a runner, the steady balance as you're gaining
in speed, a photograph to scale the thrashing of your
feet. And it won't be over until the big,
backhand of the sun, beats the tar out of the road
you are on until it's won you,
the summer hurts. And as for all your suffering you
won't escape the sting until you're buried in the ground.
The beauty that you breathe into the air won't clear
your name you have been sinning since the day you came
around. You are a runner...
