[Verse 1]
My boyfriend turned to my mother and asked,
“What’s your next instruction?”
She replied, “How about you try running 1km in 4 minutes?”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She pointed to a table and said, “A stopwatch is right here.”
[Chorus 1]
We ran together, side by side, beneath the evening moon,
Around the park and past the pond, a frantic loving swoon.
[Verse 2]
“It’s 1km from the house, around the park and back,” I said.
We started at the gate and began the stopwatch. We ran as hard as we could.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The stopwatch indicated 4 minutes after.
[Chorus 2]
We ran together, side by side, beneath the evening moon,
Around the park and past the pond, a frantic loving swoon.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
We staggered back, all out of breath, and dripping with our sweat,
“I’m late,” I panted, He replied, “It’s 4:01! we haven’t made it yet.”
“Oh, what a shame!” I cried aloud, filled with a deep regret.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
My mother won’t forgive a single second, I know.
[Chorus 3]
We ran together, side by side, beneath the evening moon,
Around the park and past the pond, a frantic loving swoon.
[Final Chorus]
My mother came outside the gate, with worry in her eyes,
We both collapsed right at her feet, beneath the starry skies.
The stopwatch read three fifty-nine, a victory hard-won.
She looked at us with pride and said, “My goodness, look how you’ve run!”
“You are amazing,” she went on, “But you could have failed.”
