Firstly, I would like to say how wrong those lyrics are.
Secondly, I think that this song is about a girl who runs away from home (hence the title, The Runner).
"Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up railroad
Railroad from hell to Maine"
She's traveling trying to get away from where she is now (hell), to somewhere better (Maine).
"While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers taken blame
Awful sick and tired of the game."
Someone is worried, trying to get her to come back. But they're also tired of her running away (this probably isn't the first time she's tried).
"She comes from nothing
Hoping for a trace of fame.
She's got a birthmark
Birthmark the shape of Maine."
This girl feels that Maine is where she belongs, where she'll find herself, possibly.
The lines about Jesus, I think that is the narrator's part. "Jesus says that I'm okay." He's fine with himself, and it doesn't matter where he is, because he's got Jesus.
And then, "Our time as we go, we know our time's will change", that kinda reinforces that point, saying that things will change no matter what.

I hope this makes sense.
