marathon not a sprint

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
