The Race

You started skipping in a running race
5 meters from the finish line you fell from grace
Do you need to go walk it out
Have a sit down maybe stretch it out
It will heal itself if you give it some time
Take a deep breath, let it unwind

Now you're swimming, the best exercise for pain
Out past those shark nets you heard your name called again
He was inviting you in with his grin
He's a real fast mover so swim, swim, swim
Take a sharp turn, head back to land
You'll be disappointed but I'm sure you'll understand

Oh my goodness, here comes his highness
Followed by my friend the air hostess
Who knows the mostest about his big jet plane
Flying him home again
Taking him over the mountain
Over the mountain
Over the mountain
Over the mountain

Quit your limping now, oh, follow my advice
No more excuses 'cause they come at your own demise
I know a time it'll let it pass
When you overthink things just to make it last
I'm telling you now it's not such a big deal
Give it a rest, don't feel so real

Way-oh, way-oh
Where did you go my friend, oh no
Way-oh, way-oh
Ambulance is coming to take you home
Way-oh, way-oh
Where did you go my friend, oh no
Way-oh, way-oh
Ambulance is coming to take you home

Oh my goodness, here comes his highness
Followed by my friend the air hostess
Who knows the mostest about his big jet plane
Flying him home again
Taking him over the mountain
Over the mountain
Over the mountain
Over the mountain

Now you're walking at a different pace
You came first place in your running race
The first time you took it slow
The slower you'll go, the faster you'll know
You can heal yourself if you give it some time
I never did think I wouldn't change your mind
