I'm with everyone I know, Running in our lifetime's race. But I just can't shake this feeling That I'm never going to place. They all have their hearts set on something And is it something that I have done, To cause me to run with aimless footsteps Simply chasing the horizon? They're all clutching onto something, And they put their hope in it. But for some reason, I never seem To be able to commit. One by one they find their goal, And take off sprinting away. Leaving me in the dust, To chase the horizon again today. And it's not their fault, I know. They think that I am running too. I told them I was coming, But I'm just watching them run through. Why can't I see their inspiration? Each time I think I know, I trip and lose the thought I had. And I'm far to tired to go. I'm tired of having no purpose, Just living an act of treason. I hope they'll stop for a breath and see, That I'm a runner without a reason.

A Runner without a Reason
I'm with everyone I know, Running in our lifetime's race. But I just can't shake this feeling That I'm never going to place. They all have their hearts set on something And is it something that I have done, To cause me to run with aimless footsteps Simply chasing the horizon? They're all clutching onto something, And they put their hope in it. But for some reason, I never seem To be able to commit. One by one they find their goal, And take off sprinting away. Leaving me in the dust, To chase the horizon again today. And it's not their fault, I know. They think that I am running too. I told them I was coming, But I'm just watching them run through. Why can't I see their inspiration? Each time I think I know, I trip and lose the thought I had. And I'm far to tired to go. I'm tired of having no purpose, Just living an act of treason. I hope they'll stop for a breath and see, That I'm a runner without a reason.
