Racing The Past's Clock lyrics

You signed my life with a heart,
No matter if it was broken,
Regarding the words that were spoken,
Holding your fate inside my hands,
I'll take control,
And promise the world my soul.

You had tried to show me,
What you wanted out of me,
Never quite getting to that finish line,
I've always been behind,
Just managing to hold on for my life,
Going through life day by day.

As you race through your past,
Hoping the pain won't last,
Forgiving the people who made this love fade,
Remembering the friends you made,
Hoping they'll never forget you,
No matter who you outgrew.

Keeping one eye open,
Hold onto your loved one so damn tight,
No war will take them away,
Lay with them tonight,
Tell them you need this time,
Hoping they'll return the smile.

As you race through your past,
Hoping the pain won't last,
Forgiving the people who made this love fade,
Remembering the friends you made,
Hoping they'll never forget you,
No matter who you outgrew.

I haven't heard you cry,
No matter the pain you went through,
No one needed to carry you,
But whenever you lay there crying,
Because your hopes are dying,
Remember there's more out there.

As you race through your past,
Hoping the pain won't last,
Forgiving the people who made this love fade,
Remembering the friends you made,
Hoping they'll never forget you,
No matter who you outgrew.
