Race To Run

I fell out of bed and hit the ground

Running late again

Another good day’s just slipped away

And gone round the bend

It’s the same old run of the mill

It's the mountains of mail and bills

Maybe I’ll head for the hills

In the end

Me and my heart nearly came apart

Some years ago

And now I’m here, but still tend to keep the fear

From everyone know

But it’s just like you’ve said

Babe, it's in your head

Just put it all to bed and

Get on with the show

Can you just tell me I’m enough

That It’ll be alright when the going’s tough

I know living with me can be awful rough

I’m tired of trying to please everyone

I’m tired of trying not to come undone

I’m tired of trying to stay out in front

But you remind me

You say sit down hon

It’s your own race to run,

Your own race to run

In the middle of the night by the glowing light

I lie awake

Tethered to the phone like a sinking stone

I feel the ache

What did we all do before?

I can’t remember anymore

Don’t it seem like myth and lore

Nowadays

As the years go by I tend to wonder why

I’m still on this train

Cause I’m either in a hurry or in a hurricane

But I’ll stay on this ride

Long as the Sparrows fly

And I take it all in stride

Another day

I don’t want to care if I’m missing out

Think I’ll turn off the news

Keep my head in the clouds

I can’t go on with all this doubt

I’m tired of trying to please everyone

I’m tired of trying not to come undone

I’m tired of trying to stay out in front

But you remind me

You say slow down hon

It’s your own race to run,

Your own race to run

Maybe we should try and spend some time

In the wilderness

Throw away the clocks and get back to Woodstock

Before we get too depressed

Because you and I

Need a bigger sky

To sometimes just survive

This mess

I don’t want to care if my name lives on

When I fly away to the great beyond

When there’s so much right why do I

Just see the wrong

I’m tired of trying to please everyone

I’m tired of trying not to come undone

I’m tired of trying to stay out in front

I'm tired of trying to be number one

But you remind me

We've already won

It’s our own race to run,

Our own race to run

Our own race to run
