lyrics

The world just keeps on moving
At a different pace than me
Like the tortoise and the hare
Only one was built for speed

And one is going to burn out
Burn brighter than the sun
And one is going to keep on
Keep on, keeping on

But I can be what you need me to be
Tell me what you want to see

It doesn’t seem to matter
At which point I begin
Just when I think I’m flying
I’m still outside looking in

And everyone around me
Is always looking down
I can’t help but feel out of place
In my own home town

But I can be what you need me to be
Tell me what you want to see

Heading north on 94
The headlights are all aglow
I just keep getting passed
No matter how fast I go

If you’re watching from a distance
I’m just an iceberg out at sea
Pushing forward through the waves
Hoping you crash into me

But I can be what you need me to be
Tell me what you want to see
