Lyrics

Woke up again, chasing gold
Dreams that I carry feel old
Time keeps stealing my peace
Moments slip by 
I'm never at ease

Tired of running
Who I became
Tired of running
No one to blame
Tired of running
Running away
Tired of running 
Tired of running

Sooner or later I'll hit the brakes
Living my life in a heartbeat
Filling my mind with impossible stakes
Living my life in a heartbeat

Maybe one day I'll be faultless
Stop living my life in a heartbeat
Why is my time always so fruitless
Living my life in a heartbeat

Maybe I'm ready for silence and space
But I keep sprinting, my life is a race
Still I pretend I've figured it out
But every success just echoes my doubt

Tired of running
Who I became
Tired of running
No one to blame
Tired of running
Running away
Tired of running 
Tired of running

Sooner or later I'll hit the brakes
Living my life in a heartbeat
Filling my mind with impossible stakes
Living my life in a heartbeat

Maybe one day I'll be faultless
Stop living my life in a heartbeat
Why is my time always so fruitless
Living my life in a heartbeat

Stop living my life in a heartbeat
Living my life in a heartbeat

Sooner or later I'll hit the brakes
Living my life in a heartbeat
Filling my mind with impossible stakes
Living my life in a heartbeat

Maybe one day I'll be faultless
Stop living my life in a heartbeat
Why is my time always so fruitless
Living my life in a heartbeat
