the race against time by Jacob Daley Lyrics
[Chorus]
I just been counting the weeks off
Lately been cutting my streaks
Feet in the dirt, first of the month
Tipping the seesaw
Baby you don't wanna face life right now
IPhone buzzing but your mind's tuned out
Walk in the tall grass, we just been forgetting our past
Run to the stu', hop in the booth
Flipping the hour glass
Baby you know I been losing my mind
I been falling behind in the race against time
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
[Verse 1]
Losing the race
I need a better focus
Doctor, doctor, I need a diagnosis, I
Fall in the same cycle
Follow it with eyes closed
You on the same high horse
I'm on the way I know
I wanna say one thing before they close me out
Before they cut my mic, before they shut me down
I ain't found my path at all, fallen behind then your casket falls
Do I believe in my hopes and dreams?
Do I know my lines in this act at all?
But I wrote the script, right?
Or did God? Could I call for a rewrite?
I'm the boss of my walks through the streetlight
But the fog got me lost on the east side
Is the man I became all along
Just a brick in a step in a stone?
Just a man in the wild who crave perfection
Take me out this crowd I've been struggling with depression
It's just in my genes. constant need to be accepted
Lonely in my thoughts when I learn my biggest lessons
Like fuck a first impression, the stress is too excessive
[Chorus]
I just been counting the weeks off
Lately been cutting my streaks
Feet in the dirt, first of the month
Tipping the seesaw
Baby you don't wanna face life right now
IPhone buzzing but your mind's tuned out
Walk in the tall grass, we just been forgetting our past
Run to the stu', hop in the booth
Flipping the hour glass
Baby you know I been losing my mind
I been falling behind in the race against time
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
[Verse 2]
Yeah
I'm losing the form
I stumble the stance
I fell off the throttle
I'm stuck in a trance
Like what should I follow
I'm off of the Gram
Only so much can go right in the plans
I was cruising through then I hit the fan
Im assuming everything will work out
I just loosened every knot on the sails
People love me when I put out a tape
I'm a nuisance when I don't they don't care
When does a castaway put out the fire?
When do the activists start to lose faith?
When does David finally throw in the towel?
When will Jacob finally call it a day?
I just calm it down, calm it down, uh
Everything's spinning 'round us always
Something ain't, something ain't right
Aura been shaking all night, ok
May 24th is it? Why's everything coming to life on me?
I put it all on the line, someone above can decide for me
I can't revive my soul tonight
I'm going out despite the life that's lost
The dreams we see are far from us
[Chorus]
I just been counting the weeks off
Lately been cutting my streaks
Feet in the dirt, first of the month
Tipping the seesaw
Baby you don't wanna face life right now
IPhone buzzing but your mind's tuned out
Walk in the tall grass, we just been forgetting our past
Run to the stu', hop in the booth
Flipping the hour glass
Baby you know I been losing my mind
I been falling behind in the race against time
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
(Afys interlude 2)
Aye bruh
How we feel about ah um
Like space?
I just been counting the weeks off
Lately been cutting my streaks
Feet in the dirt, first of the month
Tipping the seesaw
Baby you don't wanna face life right now
IPhone buzzing but your mind's tuned out
Walk in the tall grass, we just been forgetting our past
Run to the stu', hop in the booth
Flipping the hour glass
Baby you know I been losing my mind
I been falling behind in the race against time
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long (oh I might fall behind)
I been running far too long
I been running far too long
[Verse 1]
Losing the race

Doctor, doctor, I need a diagnosis, I
