New workout song - great lyrics to run to

  • In my endless quest to stay motivated on the treadmill, I found this great song to run to. I find the lyrics VERY inspiring (although probably not really intended for fitness per se, they work!)

    The Afters
    Never Going Back to OK

    It's not the end
    But it feels like it is
    I'm waking up
    Like I'm back from the dead
    I'm stepping out
    And I feel so afraid
    But as long as I'm moving it's all right

    I feel alive
    And it hurts for a change
    And looking back and
    it's hard to believe
    That I was cool
    With the days that I wasted
    complacent and tasteless
    and bored but
    That was yesterday

    We're never going back to OK
    We're never going back to easy
    We're never going back to the way it was
    We're never going back to OK

    This discontent
    Like a slap in the face
    Of mediocre
    I've had enough of this place
    This party's over
    And I'm moving away from
    the frills of you Beverly
    Hills but that was
    yesterday

    We're never going back to OK
    We're never going back to easy
    We're never going back to the way it was
    We're never going back to OK

    We're here to stay
    This is our time
    Our only life
    Our chance to live

    We're never going back to OK
    We're never going back to easy
    We're never going back to the way it was
    We're never going back to OK
