Don’t hold your breath, don’t you cry
Sit there wondering what went wrong
To deserve all those lies
Empty vows is all you’ve got
All alone you were left to pave my way
He was so far away
He was so far away from love
Unaware, went and made the same mistakes
He was so far away
And I’m left wondering if you’re
Racing against the sun
Hoping that you’ll find
Someone who will
Save you from your dusk
You’re racing against the sun
She sacrificed youthful days
Like tidal waves came crashing down
Years of work, honest pay
A yielded heart, a love divine
I was left to play father and give you strength
He was so far away
He was so far away from love
Unaware, went and made the same mistakes
He was so far away
And I’m left wondering if you’re
Racing against the sun
Hoping that you’ll find
Someone that will
Save you from your dusk
She’s racing against the sun
She’s hoping she’ll find someone
She wants to get away
She wants to get away
She’ll never get away
She’ll never get away
She wants to get away
She wants to get away
She’ll never get away
She’ll never get away
She’s racing against the sun
She’s racing against the sun
She’s hoping she’ll find someone
She’s racing against the sun
