You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son

I got a number on me, I got a number

His bed is made

I was a hero early in the morning

I am my father's son

And I'll build a house inside of you

I'll draw three figures on your heart

One of them will be me, watching you run

Watching you run farther than guns will go
