"i guess that's why they call it taper madness"

don't wish it away
don't look at it like it's forever
between you and me i could honestly say
that things can only get better

so taper today
dust out the demons inside
and it won't be long before you and me run
across that finish line with pride

and i guess that's why they call it taper madness
time on our hands could be time spent out running
laughing like insane people, unable to focus on anything
posting too many messages on the message board
and i guess that's why they call it the taper madness

just stare into space
picture the race in your mind
live for each second without hesitation
and never forget the cmm is this saturday

wait on me pace group leader!
cry in metrocenter if it helps
but more than ever, simply go run
and never forget to have fun

and i guess that's why they call it taper madness
time on our hands could be time spent out running
laughing like insane people, unable to focus on anything
posting too many messages on the message board
and i guess that's why they call it the taper madness
