Neon Marathon (Version 2)

Verse

Sneakers taped up, laces double-knotted tight

Sweat on the treadmill, city glowing red and white

Twenty-third floor window, skyline on the run

Every rep tonight feels like the setting sun

Speaker in my palm, volume climbing high

Heartbeat on the four count, matching every light

Ain't got nowhere to be but right here in my skin

Twelve miles of neon and I'm chasing the win

Pre-Chorus

So how far can a feeling go

When the whole block starts to glow

Watch me turn this floor to fire

Climbing higher, climbing higher

Chorus

We're running the neon marathon

Feet on fire till the night is gone

Every streetlight cheering us on

Free till the break of dawn

Neon marathon, neon marathon

Verse

Mile eight, the crowd noise blurs to static gold

Torn playlist skipping tracks I already know

Elbows brushing strangers, all of us the same

Chasing down a feeling that don't have a name

Water bottle empty, throat still singing loud

Legs are done arguing, I'm above the crowd

Every light I'm passing turns to gasoline

Nothing but the rhythm and the in-between

Pre-Chorus

So how far can a feeling go

When the whole block starts to glow

Watch me turn this floor to fire

Climbing higher, climbing higher

Chorus

We're running the neon marathon

Feet on fire till the night is gone

Every streetlight cheering us on

Free till the break of dawn

Neon marathon, neon marathon

Bridge

No finish line, no clock to beat

Just the beat itself under my feet

Not running from, just running free

This is the only place I need to be

Chorus

We're running the neon marathon

Feet on fire till the night is gone

Every streetlight cheering us on

Free till the break of dawn

We're running the neon marathon

Hearts wide open, and we won't slow down

Every streetlight cheering us on

Free till the break of dawn

Neon marathon, neon marathon
