lyrics

I run a while everyday
I sweat and breathe and gasp and cough
I run a mile everyday
So I can show you that I’m fast and strong
And tomorrow I’ll run twice as long.

I’ll run a mile everyday
To show you that I’m brave enough
To give up all my miles for you.
I’ll give it up all my miles some day.

I’m brave enough to take a thousand pictures of my face
Of kith and kin and moments, that I partially recall
I’ll hand you all my evidence, that shows my painted face
Furrowed dimpled lined and drawn
Screwed and pouted you can’t doubt I was brave enough
To hold a thousand faces.

I gave my heart a thousand times, I cut it from my chest
And held it blindly in the open air.
Friends and lovers took this knotted thing and made it theirs
Made it theirs to braid and better
Theirs to spoil and weather
I gave my heart a thousand times
To show you that I’m brave enough
To cut it out in front of you…

So I could hold the hands
And kiss the lips
Of someone who
Who isn’t you

You knew me when I thought nothing of you
And now I have a thousand things that brought me closer to you.

You’re all I dream about
You’re all I dream about
You’re all I dream about

I’ll tell my friends that I am strong, tomorrow I’ll run twice as long.
