wooh!
I try to face it wooh! I can't erase it wooh!
I try to face it wooh! I can't erase it wooh!
Driving in the slow lane, watching everybody shooting by in the fast lane, in the fast lane
Sitting here beside me, there is a shadow from my past in the front seat,
I can hear my heart beat
faster, faster, faster, faster, faster...
wooh!
I try to face it wooh!
I can't erase it wooh!
So I must face it wooh!
I must embrace it
I have wasted my time dwelling in the shadows from the past
In the front seat, did you hear my heart beat
Forward to the future, I must move on, I will let go
into the future, that's where I will soar
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher...
wooh!
So I can face it wooh!
And I will chase it wooh!
I will embrace it wooh!
You can't outrun your skeleton, no way, no way!
You can't outrun your skeleton, no way, no way...
wooh wooh wooh wooh
No way no way...
wooh wooh wooh wooh
No way no way...
wooh wooh wooh wooh
In the corner of the room, I try to face it
In the corner of the room, I must embrace it
In the corner of the room, and I will chase it
In the corner of the room, I will embrace it
ya ya oh oh
In the corner of the room
