You hit a point where you start running Sprinting as fast as you can Never looking back Until you're tired I guess Until I'm tired and I sit and watch the past Running over the horizon Getting closer I wait in terror Until soon it is close and I want to go back Back to the things I used to know The past gets close enough I can smell its breath But I cannot quite reach it.

Race Backwards
You hit a point where you start running Sprinting as fast as you can Never looking back Until you're tired I guess Until I'm tired and I sit and watch the past Running over the horizon Getting closer I wait in terror Until soon it is close and I want to go back Back to the things I used to know The past gets close enough I can smell its breath But I cannot quite reach it.
