Middle distance runner

Well I'm so sad tonight
And the words
Won't come out right
It's been a long day
On the track
And it's stamina that I lack

So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight could turn
But we're just lovers
But I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner

Well, my heart is beating hard
And I'm off with a shot at the start
And my legs tremble from strain
But by the finish line I'll drain

So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight let's not talk about
Next summer
Cause I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner

Well I'm so proud tonight
Of the woman you've become
And I'm just too tired to fight
So my darling, I'll succumb

But you'll have to run to me tonight
Tonight I will love you forever
But I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner
