lyrics

Runner, it's okay to slow down
Runner, it's okay to slow down
It's alright to stop awhile and take a look around
Runner, it's okay to slow down

Ever since I met you, you've been chasing after something
Til something started chasing after you
Since then you've been running, and I'm just trying to keep in stride
Runner, nothing else that I'd ever do

Runner, it's okay to take some rest
Runner, it's okay to take your rest
Ain't no one ever doubted that you tried to do your best
Runner, it's okay to to take some rest

All our secrets should be celebrated and revealed
But, Runner, we know that ain't how things always go
As it is, the two of Us, and everybody looking in
But, there's no way to tell 'em things they'll never know
As it is, the two of Us and everybody looks away
There's no way to tell them things they don't wanna know

There ain't no use in worrying 'bout the rain
There ain't no use in worrying 'bout the rain
Even if them grey clouds burst, the Sun will shine again
There ain't no use in worrying 'bout the rain

A long-haired girl in a denim coat, a dusty county fair
A cover band from a town away, and Autumn in the air
A kiss atop the ferris wheel as the nite falls all around
Runner, it's okay to slow down
An August nite, in the fading light, I pull you closer to me, now
Runner, it's okay to slow down
I steal a kiss on the ferris wheel from the prettiest girl around
Runner, it's okay to slow down
