[Verse 1] Skate laces loose Scuffed-up shoes on the sidewalk You call my name It gets lost in your small talk Turn on a dime I’m a blur past the crosswalk You chase my shadow But it’s gone when you look up [Chorus] I’m too fast for you to catch me Too quick for your hands and plans Every time you think you’ve got me All you grab is air and sand You can trace my tracks in the ashes But you’ll never hold me down I’m too fast for you to catch me Watch me vanish when you turn around (hey!) [Verse 2] Missed calls stack On the cracked screen of your phone You map my past But I’ve already outgrown You want a cage I just want an open road I hit the gas While you’re stuck at the same old tone [Chorus] I’m too fast for you to catch me Too quick for your hands and plans Every time you think you’ve got me All you grab is air and sand You can trace my tracks in the ashes But you’ll never hold me down I’m too fast for you to catch me Watch me vanish when you turn around [Bridge] Maybe if you’d run beside me (run beside me) Learn to lean into the bend (into the bend) You’d see I’m not escaping you I’m just racing what I’ve been [Chorus] I’m too fast for you to catch me Too quick for your hands and plans Every time you think you’ve got me All you grab is air and sand You can trace my tracks in the ashes But you’ll never hold me down I’m too fast for you to catch me Last glimpse of me Then I’m out of town (woo!)
