[Verse 1]
Grew up believing love was a grudge
And home was a place where you lived with your guard up
People keep saying memories fade
Mine are all drunk and they just keep calling

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I hear the gun go off
Crowd go wild
You’re still here
Mile after mile

[Chorus]
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind, mind, mind
Round in my mind

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I need some music, I need some sleep
I need a lover, somebody to move me
Takes me forever and ever to see
The good in the people who see the good in me

[Chorus]
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles

[Bridge]
And I hear the gun go off
Thunder crack
And my head says go
Don’t ever look back
[Chorus]
Oh, the past is a long distance runner
And I’m falling further and further behind
Yeah, the past is a long distance runner
Going round in my mind

[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
Miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles looking for love
Keep on going miles
Oh-oh
