Eartha - Pursuit lyrics

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?
