marathon not a sprint

Singer:camera obscura

honey you were good for me but i can't deny my need to be free grows

i resigned myself to climb the stairs to your

winning thighs and endless prayers alone

my new-found confidence you hate

everything put down to fate

nothing less or more

it's a marathon and not a sprint

that's what we said before we quit

love should grow

should boast

i feel i'm doing time

with someone not on my side

a mystery divide

brings me close

to who i love the most

a friend from the capital came to visit

will she comfort me or does she want to gossip

who knows?

i'll take these worries to the park

i won't come home until after dark

noone will know except you of course

i'll go swimming and ride a bike

maybe turn into someone that you'd like

it's a marathon and not a sprint

that's what we said before we quit

love should grow

should boast
