Never Running Out Lyrics

Athlete

Waking up to car alarms
A million people playing their part
Overwhelmed by the size of all that is
And all that weve got
This should be the centre,
This should be the time of our lives
It seems like everything we build
You tear it down again
Only to replace it with
Something bigger still
And its never running out
Its never running out
Like all of these ideas
Its never running out
I can still taste yesterday
And yesterday is pushing me on
Out of music, out of art,
Out of fashion, into your arms
This should be the centre,
This should be the time of our lives
It seems like everything we build
You tear it down again
Only to replace it with
Something bigger still
And its never running out
Its never running out
Like all of these ideas
I will let you in on this
It seems like everything we build
You tear it down again
Only to replace it with
Something bigger still
And its never running out
Its never running out
Like all of these ideas
Its never running out
