There— Past the bend. I can see it. The wind gets under my collar My shirt keeps catching on my skin I hear somebody up ahead And feel my shoulders lift again I've been a fist against the pavement A blade that flashed across the night Now every shadow runs beside me Into that strip of finish-line light My breath is rough My legs are burning I know this ends Just past the turning Give me the whole way there THE WHOLE WAY! I wanna feel it all the way The fire in my lungs, the wind against my face Until the last white line is underneath my feet Let this tired heart sing loud enough for me All the way All the way I wanna feel it all the way ALL THE WAY! I catch a face beside the railing An open hand against the sky I lift my own without a word And let the next few metres fly That voice is somewhere at my shoulder Still trying to tell me what I'm worth But there's a laugh caught in my breathing And I can barely hear its words My breath is rough My legs are burning I know this ends Just past the turning Give me the whole way there THE WHOLE WAY! I wanna feel it all the way The fire in my lungs, the wind against my face Until the last white line is underneath my feet Let this tired heart sing loud enough for me All the way All the way I wanna feel it all the way I used to picture this part With something clever left to say Now all I've got is a crooked smile And sweat I cannot wipe away The line is getting closer I hear them calling out I take this breath into the chorus And let the whole thing out LET IT OUT! I wanna feel it all the way The fire in my lungs, the wind against my face ALL THE WAY! Until the last white line is underneath my feet Let this tired heart sing loud enough for me All the way All the way I wanna feel it all the way I wanna feel it all the way.
