lyrics

I tried so hard to demonstrate how hard it is to run with lead weights
tied around your neck and round your legs
and when you finally realised what i was trying to vocalise
you said whatever speed I made you'd best

so that's when the plan was hatched that you'd strap on lead weights to match
and how they slowed you down
its funny how when face to face,neither of us can take the pace
racing on common ground

And I say all things come in time but you need reasons to define
why you feel untrue
and I dont think we're made of glass but if we are it's those who've cracked that the light shines through
and you and I will carry on

you and I will carry
on and on to something new and if it means that much to you
we can take the path of least resistance
cos by now even you must think it's better when we run in synch
so that both of us can take the distance

and now,though you have run and for so long
somehow we made it this far to carry on

And I say all things come in time but you need reasons to define
why you feel untrue
and I dont think we're made of glass but if we are it's those who've cracked that the light shines through
and you and I will carry on

and you know I tried and for so long
through it all we will pass them by to carry on.
