Everyday I'd buy myself
More time if I only could
Push time back a little further,
Stand on line beyond the point I should
Steady hand, a little stronger
Maybe it won't be much longer
Before something I embrace,
Is the thing that I replace
In pursuit of all the dreams
That seem so far away from me, God knows
Make concessions as I go;
And deny what's fair to me, it shows
Keep the truth, release the lies
Pray my tears will dry my eyes
So that I can see the shades
Right before they fade
If I decide to take a dare
And I lose,
Who's to say that I have failed
In my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
And I lose,
Who's to say that I have failed
In my pursuit?
Time again I think about
The chances that I chose to take
Notwithstanding compromise,
In retrospect, it's my mistake
Walk away from what I do
Sometimes to win, I've gotta lose
So that I can stay above
Make due with just enough
I'll keep true to my pursuit,
Even if I take a slower pace
A steady slow is what I know
Will lead me closer to another place
Step by step I'll move along
Every trace I leave is gone
What else is there to find
I leave nothing behind
If I decide to take a dare
And I lose
Who's to say that I have failed
In my pursuit?
If I decide to take a dare
And I lose
Who's to say that I have failed
In my pursuit?
