I'll always be the one chasing light to a dream.
Holding on to the ones that have always been close to me.
I can say what they want me to say.
But I won't do what they want me to do.
Slow it down.
Write it out.
Slow it down.
Write it out.
I'll always be two steps behind the mean.
Trying to make sense of "what's not what it seems."
I can say what I wanted to say.
But I could never do what I wanted to do.
Slow it down.
Write it out.
Slow it down.
Write it out.
I won't get sleep until sleep gets me.
I won't cheat death until death cheats me.
So come on just hum along, hum along to the song now.
Let it run, let it run down your spine now.
I won't get sleep until sleep gets me.
I won't cheat death until death cheats me.
I'll always be the one chasing light to a dream.
Holding on to the ones that have always been close to me.
I can say what they want me to say.
But I won't do what they want me to do.
