Camera Obscura - Marathon Not A Sprint lyrics

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
