II. Lyrics:

Where you going? It's hard to keep up

You're moving so fast leaving me behind

Gimme an hour, that's all I need

It's now or never, I'm running out of time



The seconds are relentless, I'm helpless as they keep flying by

Stuck here in the desert, I feel like I'm in an hourglass

Maybe I can stay and be comfortable living in the past

But I don't wanna be alone so can you take me to you now



Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope

We used to walk together down this winding road

But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up



And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold

Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode



Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white

Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo



I'm afraid I'm gonna be left stranded by myself

All the foolish dreams I had inside of me are broken



Everything I wanted in the distance out of reach

Am I the only one that's gon' stay here forgotten, ey



So many thoughts are inside of my head

I'm always drying these tears on my face

How could I ever get used to the fact that

The songs and the lyrics, they all sound the same



"Come on, I know you can do it," I have to repeat it again and again, yeah

I wanna look in the mirror, telling myself that I did a good job, ey



Everyone gonna be watching, I gotta show 'em all of me

But I've been insecure lately, 'cause I don't know what they want from me, ey

Feeling so nervous, I wanna go forward but everyone else overtaking me

Blocking my vision, my body is shaking, I don't know if I can keep up, yeah, yeah



Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope

We used to walk together down this winding road

But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up



And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold

Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode



Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white

Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo



I'm afraid I'm gonna be left stranded by myself

All the foolish dreams I had inside of me are broken



Everything I wanted in the distance out of reach

Am I the only one that's gon' stay here forgotten, ey
