Running to Walk

(Verse 1) Wake up to the alarm, I’m already late Racing the sun, pushing past the gate Got a coffee in my hand and my shoes untied Watching all the colors blur as I speed on by I’m chasing down a horizon that I can’t quite see Trying to find the quiet that’s hiding inside of me (Chorus) I’m running, running just to walk Sprinting through the noise so I can hear the tick-tock Skipping all the chapters just to see how the story ends Flying past the strangers I was supposed to call my friends I’m spinning the world so fast, trying to make it stop Yeah, I’m running, running just to walk (Verse 2) The calendar pages are blowing away like leaves I’m building up a castle, but I lost the keys Got a hundred unread messages, a thousand places to be But the only place I want is under the shade of a tree I gotta break the habit, gotta pull off the road Before I buckle under the weight of this heavy load (Chorus) Cause I’m running, running just to walk Sprinting through the noise so I can hear the tick-tock Skipping all the chapters just to see how the story ends Flying past the strangers I was supposed to call my friends I’m spinning the world so fast, trying to make it stop Yeah, I’m running, running just to walk (Bridge) What’s the prize at the finish line if I arrive all alone? What’s the point of the kingdom if I’m too tired for the throne? I need to catch my breath, let the engine cool down Let my feet feel the dirt, let my shadows touch the ground (Instrumental solo) (Chorus) (Dump) I'm done running, running just to walk I'm stepping out the fast lane, taking time to talk Reading every sentence, savoring the bends Saying hello to the strangers, making them my friends. I’m letting the world spin on, watching the needle drop I'm done running, running just to walk (Outro) Yeah, I’m taking a step. Just one foot... and then the next. Breathing in... breathing out. (Spoken) No more running. Just walking.
