Lyrics

Personal Best

[Verse 1]

My feet are kinda hurting, I need to finish faster

I reach into my pocket, I think I know the answer

My brain is saying no, my heart is saying yes

I need a little help to beat my personal best

Just putting one foot in front of the other

Can feel the world around me get a little bit smaller

Just focus on the music, not the beating in my chest

I need a little help to beat my personal best

[Chorus]

Now I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running, running

Now I'm tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, I'm tripping, tripping, tripping

Now I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running, running

Now I'm tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, I'm tripping, tripping, tripping

[Verse 2]

Got blisters on my feet, splints in my shin

Was gonna sack it off, I'm only five miles in

I dig down deep inside, it's not enough

I take a big breath, I've run out of puff

All the blood in my body has rushed to my face

Like an out-of-shapе tomato moving at a snail's pace

Just focus on the music, not the bеating in my chest

I need a little help to beat my personal best

The music isn't helping, and I need a little water

A thought enters my mind, and I get an idea

I'm running out of time, and I need to finish faster

I reach into my pocket 'cause I think I know the answer

[Chorus]

Now I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running, running

Now I'm tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, I'm tripping, tripping, tripping

Now I'm running, running, running, running, I'm running, running

Now I'm tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, I'm tripping, tripping, tripping

[Bridge]

I'm starting to feel like I've had too much

Everything around me's stopped making sense

I think I might quit and wave the world goodbye

Maybe this is what they mean by runner's high?

Why is everything more clear in hindsight?

[Outro]

I'm running, running, running, I'm running, running

I knew it was a mistake after the first bite

I'm tripping, I'm tripping, I'm tripping, tripping, tripping

I think I might quit and wave the world goodbye

I'm running, running, running, I'm running, running

Maybe this is what they mean by runner's high?

I'm running, I'm tripping, I'm running, I'm tripping

I'm slowing, I'm slipping, I'm falling, it's hitting
