lyrics

There is no reasonable pace.
Someone’s always faster to the prize.

I know I’ll never catch up but I’ll give chase.
Though I’m not sure what the race is for.

I did not slow down.
A herd is passing my side.
Younger and stronger with less connections that bind.

I know I’ll never catch up but I’ll give chase.
Though I’m not sure what the race is for.

Don’t tease me.
Don’t call on me.
Don’t tempt me without hope.
Say no if you mean it.
Then I’ll know it’s time to move on.
I’m bound on my feet or one my face.
A steady pace or a dead weight.
The willingness to move on.
Or the fear of being forgotten.
