[Verse 1]
The shorts you're wearing
Seem a bit too big
My side of the bed
Equally broken in
When you reach for me
Your aim's too long
I play you my favorites
You've already heard these songs
I offer solace in my brand new face
My eyes lack judgment with time you think I got to waste
I'll never catch up
I won't ever catch up
[Chorus]
I'll stay when I know who you are
I try to leave but I never get far
Am I seeing who you are
Or who you're becoming
I'm here right next to you
You're the one that start running, running, running
Yeah
I'll never catch up
I'll never catch up to you
[Verse 2]
Is this the way you held her hand
Did you taste the same on her lips
You lay next to me and wonder why you choked
If I'm the reason you drink, she's the reason you smoke
I can tell, I can tell
I can tell
Your nails sanded down
On someone else's skin
Playing a game I'm not supposed to win
The things we give up and the things we gain
Even though I'm better for you
You just want the same
I know the sh** well
I know it all too well
[Chorus]
I'll stay when I know who you are
I try to leave but I never get far
Am I seeing who you are
Or who you're becoming
I'm here right next to you
You're the one that start running, running, running
Yeah
I'll never catch up
I'll never catch up to you
[Bridge]
Love's too fast
Your heart's too light
I'm heavy carrying the things you whispered that night
I'll never catch up to you
But I can stay right here
Just turn around
You'll see nothing chasing you
Your heart was the only sound
Do you know who I am
The one that stood my ground
Here I know where I am
Here I know where I stand
I'll never catch up
Sometimes I wonder if I want to
Sometimes I wonder if I want you
[Chorus]
I'll stay when I know who you are
I try to leave but I never get far
Am I seeing who you are
Or who you're becoming
I'm here right next to you
You're the one that start running, running, running
Yeah
I'll never catch up
I'll never catch up to you
[Verse 3]
The shorts you're wearing
Seem a bit too big
My side of the bed
Equally broken in
When you reach for me
Your aim's too long
I play you my favorites
You've already heard these songs
We're looking forward
We're looking ahead
The winds of the past
Are strong enough to turn your head
I'll never catch up
So I'm not gonna run
