Runner Lyrics by Tennis

Swimmer

2019

[Verse 1]
Runner, I know you're living with a wild hunger
Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Living in the same old sin
I feel it blowing in the wind
Like manna in the desert, oh
Gonna take a miracle

[Chorus]
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can't go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I'll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat

[Verse 2]
Runner, you’re just a bottomless pit of hunger
Lead me to the promised land
Your manna is only a famine
Wandering the desert, oh
Gonna take a miracle

[Chorus]
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can't go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I'll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat

[Bridge]
Let me make the most of us
You know you'll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Leveled in a burning heat
Red Sea devouring me
Flowing over my stoned soul
Hey
Gonna take a miracle

[Chorus]
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can't go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I'll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
