My feet are planted on the ground
But I'm getting vertigo
I could've sworn I walked these streets
Just a matter of hours ago
Yet somehow half a decade passes
And my apparitions stay in place
While I run, while I run
Run away
Is this a chance I just can't take
Or the best mistake I'll ever make?
I can't stop the tide
Must I abandon who I hid inside?
When I look up at the stars
They never seem to sway
I guess they leave it up to me
To straighten up and change
Why must the secondhand be so relentless?
Why can't it put it's whole routine on hold
While I run, while I run
Run away?
Is this a chance I just can't take
Or the best mistake I'll ever make?
I can't stop the tide
Must I abandon who I hid inside?
Is this the day I knew would come?
Is there no stopping life's relentless drum?
I can't say goodbye
You can't be a memory I leave behind
