Uptight, too hung up, too much to be done
You stand there shivering under the sun
Do you have what it takes?
One shot and you're drawing blanks
Now everyone's passing to leave you behind
You swear you've pissed away your whole life only to miss it all
Oh, an hourglass'll lay you on your ass if you just watch it fall
Turn your head, kid, right back around it
You're pulling away from all that you wanted
The coming of age you're dreading to happen
You put your foot down, you keep on running
Deep in the pit of my stomach I rummage
Through thoughts of amounting to all that I needed
To being the downfall, doubts that determine you
Don't give them hold of you, be who you're running to
Turn your head, kid, right back around it
You're pulling away from all that you wanted
The coming of age you're dreading to happen
You put your foot down, you keep on running
So you keep on running
And don't get it twisted
You keep on running for me
Turn your head
Right back around it
The coming of age you're dreading to happen
You put your foot down, you keep on running
You keep on running
Don't stop your running
You know they're coming
You know they're coming for you
