Finish Line

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS RUNNING
RUNNING HARD AROUND A TRACK
BUT I SEE IT'S BEEN A STRAIGHT LINE
AND THERE AIN’T NO GOING BACK
I THOUGHT THAT YOU'D BE WAITING
DOWN BY THE FINISH LINE


NOW I SEE THE RACE IS OVER
AND NO HANDS ARE REACHING OUT FOR MINE
DON'T YOU KNOW THE RACE IS OVER
YOUR HANDS AREN’T REACHING OUT FOR MINE
I THOUGHT I HAD FOREVER
BUT I SEE I'M OUT OF TIME


CHORUS:
RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING
NEVER STANDING STILL
ACHING WHILE I'M MOVING
FOR MY HEART TO HAVE ITS FILL


I THOUGHT THE CROWDS WOULD CHEER ME
AS I RAN THIS ONE-MAN RACE
THOUGH I SEE THE STANDS ARE EMPTY
I KEEP LOOKING FOR YOUR FACE
YEAH I KNOW THERE'S NO ONE SITTING IN YOUR PLACE


BRIDGE:
GOD KNOWS HOW I TRIED
TO WIN YOUR LOVE AS THE PRIZE
BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN A WINNER
THERE’S NO LOVE LEFT IN YOUR EYES


REPEAT VERSE 1
