Marathon Not A Sprint Lyrics - Camera Obscura

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 troubles to the park 

I won't come home until after dark 

No one 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
