I became a runner Like a river through your fingers No one's catching me We'll count one victory Best out of the three I became a runner So they couldn't say she'll never fly She don't have wings I didn't need them 'Cause you would push the swing I became a runner To escape the fame I still don't wanna play A lion will never change I became a runner But I'm not afraid Probably a big mistake I never liked the cage How can I forget you? You're never late You're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge I became a runner Like the words you didn't stutter Right before the jab That's not what you meant Now you lost a friend I became a runner Like the dream that pulled you under Just before the day Sure, that's all that's left Better than regret I became a runner Need a shoe built to last So I can speed by the past And never face the facts I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner ♪ How can I forget you? You're never late You're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge Fear beats me to the punch And my heart would know So I begin to run So fast, and I don't feel my feet I'm going in circles And I can't seem to reach your hand How can I forget you? You're never late You're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge How can I forget you? You're never late You're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe You are my refuge
