lyrics

they say the past can come back to haunt you
but there’s no time like the present for me
seems like I’m mostly scared of tomorrow
that it’ll be the same as yesterday

used to dream that someday I’d be the hero
gliding past the others for the win
they’d lift me high above on their shoulders
never let me down, never be the same again

when the truth comes for you now
where ya gonna run, yeah where ya gonna run tomorrow
jump in the fire or just sit and watch it burn?
when the truth comes for you now
where ya gonna run, yeah where ya gonna run tomorrow
so many things that we seem to never learn

seems like it’s not enough to be human
never enough to be yourself
the best of you is more than the things you do
see the one I see you and no one else
