Camera Obscura Marathon Not A Sprint Lyrics

Marathon Not A Sprint Lyrics

Marathon not a sprint



( I love my Jean EP - 2005 )



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 worries to the park 

I won't come home until after dark 

Noone 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
