Do the Race - Lala2muchhh

I could walk across the lawn or not at all I could make you think I'm wrong and take the fall But I've never been wrong in my life That's a long time, maybe it's been once or twice I could waste some time and not feel lost I bet I could lose the race And still feel confident But I move so fast I'm hard to see Oh, it's not easy being me I wish I could be someone else from time to time I wish I could look at your life and know it's mine I wish I could be someone else

As a kid I grew up in a house in the middle of the states In a happy home where I knew I would be safe Down the street there were boys that found trouble every day And I always wondered why that happened when we played Riding bikes after school was a rush, feel the breeze Showing off, playing cool when your crush is pleased I remember staying up all night with friends Living for each moment The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race From youth camps near the Flagstaff mountain heights To college trips like my South Korean flight I made friends, and grew, and began to find All the things that make me feel so alive I am neither the boy that I once was Nor the man that I'm striving to become But my feet are always moving It's a joy to run The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race Time really flies I wanna make the most of my life To not waste one day 'Cause each moment is special in its own way The daily grind, is the gain The finish line, may not come today There's joy in the journey, there's purpose in our pain I've found the prize is the race

I feel tears welling up cold Deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp as paper, all that I can take You might have thought that I'll be taking it hard since you broke it off with a call But don't you wager, I'ma hide my sorrow Might break right down and bawl Now the race is on And here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches cut through my inside My tears are holding back, trying not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' Two loves scratching for another's sake Now the race is on and it's looking like heartache And the winner gonna lose it all One day, I wagered in love Never once suspecting what the final result would be And I lived in fear waking up each morning Finding that you're gone from me There's an aching pain in my heart for the days For the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I ended up in second place Now the race is on And here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches cut through my inside My tears are holding back, trying not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' Two loves scratching for another's sake Now the race is on And it's looking like heartache And the winner gonna lose it all

All I want All I need Always lies just out of reach I've been coming up empty (I realize) Run as fast as I can run Pushed as hard as anyone Still, There's nothing for me (Oh) (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 (I realize) Burning out, Strung along Now my sorrow is my song My whole world is half-hearted (I realize) For my pain, I have none After all is said and done Now I'm back where I started (Oh) (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 Whooooaaaa Ooooooooooooh (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 losing the race Against myself Against myself, Yeah Against myself
