Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(I realize)
All I want, all I need
Always lies just outta reach
I've been coming up empty
[Verse 2]
(I realize)
Run as fast as I can run
I've pushed as hard as anyone
Still there's nothing for me, oh
[Verse 3]
(And I want) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am running a race against myself
Against myself, yeah
[Verse 4]
(I realize)
Burning out, strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted
[Verse 5]
(I realize)
For my pain, I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started, oh
[Verse 6]
(And I want) I've gone as far as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am running a race against myself
Against myself, yeah
[Verse 7]
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
[Verse 8]
(And I want) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am losin' the race against myself
Against myself, yeah
Against myself
