Marathon
Jamie N Commons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm not the one to tell you what you want
She got the lock and she got the key
Ashamed to say she's got a hold on me
Oh, I can't see no reason why
Oh, I can't keep you satisfied
Hey!
She keep running, she keep running around
She ain't a sprint, she's a marathon
She keep running
She keep running around, she keep running around
Got held up, now my head's hung low
Got tangled up where the rumors grow
And it's hard to explain just what she means to me
But if you love it, man, then you set it free
Oh, I can't see no reason why
Oh, I can't keep you satisfied
Hey!
She keep running, she keep running around
She keep running, she keep running around
She ain't a sprint, she's a marathon
She keep running
She keep running around, she keep running around
She keep running around
She keep running around
She keep running around
She keep running, she keep running around
She keep running, she keep running around
She ain't a sprint, she's a marathon
She keep running
She keep running around, she keep running around
She keep running, she keep running around
She keep running, she keep running around
She ain't a sprint, she's a marathon
She keep running
She keep running around, she keep running around
The lyrics of Jamie N Commons's song "Marathon" speak about a woman that has a hold on the singer, but he can't quite understand why. The singer is not comfortable preaching about love and doesn't want to tell the woman what she wants. The woman has the "lock and key" and he is "ashamed" to say that she has a hold on him. Although he can't keep her satisfied, he can't see any reason why he should let her go.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "She keep running, she keep running around" emphasizing on how the woman never stops "running." She's not a sprint, but she's a marathon, indicating that the relationship is not something temporary and that it's going to take time to reach a conclusion.
The song portrays a complicated relationship between two individuals, where the power dynamic is unclear, and both parties seem lost, trying to figure out what they want. It discusses how love can be confusing and hard to decipher and how some people can hold a hold on us that we can't explain.

The song is only underrated because of your nostalgia. If you heard this for the first time today. then you probably wouldn't hold such a strong opinion of it.
