And you said you didn't care about distance
That being miles apart didn't make any difference
I told you i was slow and you thought that it was fun
And i said: "well, i'd rather walk than run"
And if one day i make it back to my homeland
If people know the songs that i wrote for my band
Well, i'll buy new shoes for my daughter and a house for my mum
But you know i'd rather walk than run
And you told me not to take the long way home nightly
You told me: "david, you shouldn't take it lightly
You could get chased by some crook or even mocked by a bomb
And i was like: "mum, i'd rather walk than run"
And it is crazy to thing how mad i made you
And it's weird to think how bad now i miss you
Like when you stood there awaiting for me in the early morning sun
And i was like: "i'd rather walk than run"
And now the aching in my heart amuse me
And memories of you confuse me
But if i have to rush to get you back, i will go alone
And you know i'd rather walk than run
Well you know i'd rather walk than run
