jimmy eat world’s albums are hands down the best running music on my mp3 player. this is a good one not only because of the tempo of the song, but come on, lyrics about pain? perfect. plan to switch to this one at the point during the race when i wish i had a bottle of tylenol on hand.

jimmy eat world: pain
I don’t feel the way I’ve ever felt.
I know.
Gonna smile and not get worried.
I try but it shows.

Anyone can make what I have built.
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills.
It takes my pain away.

It’s a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she’s not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are hurried times.
Oh oh oh
I can’t let it bother me.

I never thought I’d walk away from you.
I did.
But it’s a false sense of accomplishment.
Every time I quit

Anyone can see my every flaw.
It isn’t hard.
Anyone can say they’re above this all.
It takes my pain away.

It’s a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she’s not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are hurried times.
Oh oh oh
I can’t let it bother me.

I can’t let it bother me.

It takes my pain away.
