From Runner's High to Cycling Joy — "Running" (Original Pop Rock Song)

"Running" is an original pop rock song about a lifelong love of running — the endorphins, the freedom, the simplicity of just lacing up and taking off. But it's also about what happens when years of pounding pavement catch up with you, and how the joy of movement can be rediscovered somewhere new. (Spoiler: the knees feel great now.) If you've ever chased a runner's high, mourned an injury, or found a second wind on two wheels, this one's for you. 🏃‍♂️➡️🚴‍♂️ 🔔 Subscribe for more original pop rock — and let me know in the comments: are you Team Running or Team Cycling? #OriginalSong #PopRock #RunningSong ________________________________________ Lyrics ⬇️ [Verse 1] Ever since I was young and the world was new Running was the one thing I knew I could do There's no ball required and there's nothing to swing Just lace up your shoes and take off—that's the thing [Chorus] Feet hit the ground, they're keeping time Endorphins flowing, feel sublime Feel muscles working as I stride Running's the best thing that I've tried [Verse 2] When I felt tired and my energy draining I'd go for a run, that stopped energy waning When I felt depressed and was looking for relief I'd go for a run that stopped my feeling of grief [Chorus] Feet hit the ground, they're keeping time Endorphins flowing, feel sublime Feel muscles working as I stride Running's the best thing that I've tried [Verse 3] But years of pounding pavement and miles on the run Took aim at my knees till the damage was done They ache now and falter, they buckle and grind The pleasure I once knew I've had to leave behind [Chorus] Feet hit the ground, they're keeping time Endorphins flowing, feel sublime Feel muscles working as I stride Running's the best thing that I've tried [Bridge] Looking for something to make my heart race Something that will let me quicken my pace Something that puts the old joy back in place Something is there that I know I’ll embrace [Outro] Now I bike, chasing that runner's high Just me, my bike, open road and sky Turns out the legs just wanted to move Running or biking, they found their groove …knees feel great, by the way.
