Runner's High

At the setting of the sun And as the air begins to crisp A fog of dread and apprehension Pulls me straight on in But your face is my floodlight Paving my way Cutting through the ambiguity And saving an otherwise miserable day I know to you I'm never really there at all Just another unremarkable face Walkin down the hall Can't you see It was all for you? I wanted you to love me But no one can know So if someone asks why I'll just tell 'em that I'm chasin' the runner's high You fill me up With emotions I can't explain Like this inexplicable desire For such unobtainable things I doused myself in pain To be your protege Yet we still pass each other by Like strangers on a train And at the competition In that distant land I pushed myself to tears Just for you not to notice once again Can't you see It was all for you? I wanted you to love me But no one can know So if someone asks why I'll just tell 'em that I'm chasin' the runner's high Can't you see It was all for you? I wanted you to love me But no one can know So if someone asks why I'll just tell 'em that I'm chasin' the runner's high
