First love fell of a city bus
and ran away
singing
"hit the ground running, h-h-hit the ground running"
Chasm, face, this
was displayed
while he was singing
"hit the ground running, gotta h-hit the ground running
And as the bus pulled further away
I realized it's here now and gone the next day
'Cause life always seems to have a way
to hit the ground running, h-h-hit the ground running
A face in the mirror stuck behind some glass
Would this have happened if I wasn't so crass
I guess I'll never know, cause now I'm stuck here on my ass
alone.
Mistaken features for a glimmer of hope
Sitting on this bus just looking like a dope
I wish I had learned sooner to know
You gotta hit the ground running, don't wanna hit the ground running
Next stop doors open
And I'm just maybe hoping
That this final voyage will be a well spent token
and someone will fall into my lap
He looked at my face and held me by the hand
He says "Sorry if this isn't turning out like you planned"
But I just learned how great a demand
it is to
hit the ground running, can't take to hit the ground running."
Well he was looking sad and running out of breath
So I said "I don't have much but I'll give you what's left"
He smiled back singing that'd be more than enough
and together we
hit the ground running
he didn't leave me to
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
didn't leave me to
hit the ground running
alone.
