I've scaled every rooftop I could find Looking for something that always slips my mind Tried to hold tomorrow, running out of hands There's a hole where the wind keeps rushing in I’ve traced lines in the sky with restless eyes Tried chasing every promise I let slide Built up hopes from morning to the dead of night Every door I open, it never feels quite right So I reach for more, like the answer’s hiding somewhere new Filling up with wants I can’t undo But it’s never enough, no matter how high I run Every wish just spins me round the sun I want it all, I want it now, then I want something else again Pulling at the thread just to find it’s got no end Poured my words into strangers, watched them disappear Packed my bags for somewhere I thought would clear the air Collected souvenirs, thought they might hold me down But even gold turns dull in another town Filled up the silence with empty plans Thinking happiness was just beyond my hands Still waking up hungry for another taste It all slips through, leaving just the chase So I keep reaching out, like the answer’s waiting past the blue One more wish, another thing I can’t undo But it’s never enough, no matter how high I run Every wish just spins me round the sun I want it all, I want it now, then I want something else again Pulling at the thread just to find it’s got no end It’s a long, slow hunger I can’t shake Hearts like mine don’t know how to break Count every blessing just to lose it in the glare The more I find, the less I know it’s there I keep searching, keep searching Running circles, nothing certain All I carry are the things I can’t hold Still chasing that horizon, never old
