Race Against Myself lyrics

All I want, all I need

Always lies just out of reach

I've been coming up empty

I've run as fast as I can run

I've pushed as hard as anyone

Still, there's nothing for me

(And I want)

I've tried as hard as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am running a race

Against myself

Against myself, yeah

Burning out, strung along

Now my sorrow is my song

My whole world is half-hearted

For my pain I have none

After all is said and done

Now I'm back where I started

(And I want)

I've gone as far as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am running a race

Against myself

Against myself, yeah

(And I want)

I've tried as hard as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am losing the race

Against myself

Against myself, yeah

Against myself
