Born To Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These days these days get so hard to breathe
It's hard to move
Steep waves, steep waves, crashing into me
I could swim in the blue
When it comes to my philosophy
I've learned to take it all in my stride
When it comes to darker days
I'm born to race and man
I've been doing fine
These days, these days, get so hard to breathe
It's hard to move
So I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
Make up for time now
Since I was way back
I'm on a mission and you're starin' at the playback
You call me obsessed
I call you made up
You're trying to stop me honey
Please don't quit your day job
When it comes to my philosophy
I've learned to take it all in my stride
When it comes to darker days
I'm born to race and man
I've been doing fine
Sunlight is fading
No conversating
I'm about to pass on through
I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
I'm going faster
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Faster than I ever been
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm moving faster
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Faster than I ever been
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
When it comes to my philosophy
I've learned to take it all in my stride
When it comes to darker days
I'm born to race and man I've been doing fine
Sunlight is fading
No conversating
I'm about to pass on through
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
I'm going faster
Faster than I ever been
I'm going faster
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Faster than I ever been
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
I'm moving faster
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Faster than I ever been
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
When you're born to race yeah
Nah nah nah nah nah
When you're born to race yeah
