You say I work just so I'm busy
To keep my mind from the birthdays and clocks
And when you talk, oh, I'm not listening
I'm just tired of listing the things that I'm not

And I'm scared of missing
Something that hasn't happened, oh-ohh
And I'm scared of risking
Something that might never happen

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned if you
Never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run

You say it's late and I've been tripping
Over the rocks that I threw
When I was young, forever slipping
Trying to fill my own shoes

Now I'm scared of missing
Something that hasn't happened, oh-ohh
And I'm scared of risking
Something that might never happen

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned if you
Never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run

Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned if you
Never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run
