Before the End of the Race - Sloan

Started out one way, but turned out the other

And boy it’s confused, I run into your brother

I just pay no mind, not trying to be kind

There’s a mark on my heart, couldn’t say that I love ya

Couldn’t say that I love ya

It started out slowly then burned out and smothered

I know you don’t know that I wanted to love her

I took the advice, afforded the price

And I woke up amused in the arms of another

You know my only regret

Is that we never really met before

Cause you’re lost in the race

This didn’t turn out now the way I’d imagined

They say runner’s up never enjoy the pageant

And all of those lines, I’ve had to decline

Just like your friends, they’re divided and rationed

You know my only request

Is that we really should be together more

Before the end of the ra-ce

Ooh, before the end of the race

Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce

Ooh, before the end of the race

Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce

Ooh, before the end of the race

Let’s make it like we never met before

The end of the ra-ce
