Long Slow Distance

Some sprint to snatch the prize in
My goal's the far horizon
I guess, I'm obsessed
With that long slow distance

The fleet of feet won't please you
All speed, they love and leave you
Not me, as you see
I love long slow distance

Listen, this pulse beats strong and steady, my
Pace won't stall when I hit the wall, others
Fall by the wayside, heat-exhausted, but
I'm no coward, I'm solar-powered, as
Long as I know that you'll be there with me
Face to face when I break the tape
For the kiss when we cross the finish line

Some play the tempo given
I hear a different rhythm
Do you hear it too?
For the long slow distance

My stride is smooth and easy
Your touch can always lead me
Off-route, in pursuit
Of some long slow distance

Listen, this pulse beats strong and steady, my
Pace won't stall when I hit the wall, others
Fall by the wayside, heat-exhausted, but
I'm no coward, I'm solar-powered, as
Long as I know that you'll be there with me
Face to face when I break the tape
For the kiss when we cross the finish line

Some sprint to snatch the prize in
My goal's the far horizon
I guess, I'm obsessed
With that long slow distance
With that long slow distance
