You can call me a loser
Call me a fool
Tell me I'm crazy
You can send me back to school
But I've got my reasons
And it's right for a change
Time keeps moving on
But I got to turn the page
No more running
Time to face the task
This ship is sinking
Untie me from the mast
Moving forward
One foot on the gas
Cause you can't touch the future
If you're sleeping with the past
There's no hard labor
No blood, sweat and tears
Can take you to heaven
Or wash away your fears
So don't try and fight it
When it's your destiny
And there ain't no better thing
Than being what you want to be
Goodbye worries
Indecision's gone
I've got what I need
To carry me along
Crossing the border
I see that greener grass
You can't touch the future
If you're sleeping with the past
Come the morning
Well I know I'm gonna feel the same
Cause I heard the warning
I'm not gonna let it get to me again
Woo-hoo
So it's no more running
Time to face the task
This ship is sinking
Untie me from the mast
Moving forward
One foot on the gas
But you can't touch the future
If you're sleeping with the past
Good-bye worries
Indecision's gone
I've got what I need
To carry me along
Crossing the border
I see that greener grass
You can't touch the future
If you're sleeping with the past
Oh, if you're sleeping with the past
