The Runner Songtext

von Foals

Shadow, see how far I go
(Step by step I'll keep it up, I won't slow I got to go)
Through the embers, through the rows
(Every shadow step I take, I'll make sure that I won't break)
Show em all just what I know
(While the years they come and go, I'll make sure I won't get slow)
'Cause they all just come and go
(Every step that I will take, I'll make sure that I won't break)

Oh, if I fall down, fall down
Then I know to keep on running
Oh, if I fall down, fall down
Then I know to keep on running

And if it hurts don't let it show
(Step by step I'll keep it up, I won't slow I got to go)
While the seasons come and go
(Every shadow step I take, I'll make sure that I won't break)
Shadow chiaroscuro
(While the years they come and go, I'll make sure I won't get slow)

When I, when I fall down, fall down
Then I'll know to keep on running
Oh, when I fall down, fall down
Won't you know to keep me running
Yeah, I keep on running
Well, I keep on running

Loneliness of the long distance runner
Shadows come closer, so I'll go on further
Loneliness of the long distance runner
Shadows come closer, but I'll go further
Loneliness of the long distance runner
Shadows come closer, but I'll go further
Loneliness of the long distance runner
Shadows come closer, but I'll go further

Oh, when I fall down, fall down
Then I'll know to keep on running
Oh, If I fall down, fall down
Then I know to keep on running

Fall down, when I slow down
(Keep on running)
Slow down
(Keep on running)
Oh, slow down
(Keep on running)

Keep on running
Keep on running
Keep on running
Keep on running
