Never Far Behind

One day I thought I would be just like you
I know now that you were never satisfied
Now that I'm grown I am nothing like you
I see the world with my own eyes
With so much love all around you
How could you never realize?
The ground above, the sky below you
Must beat the hell out of being alive

How many times can I forgive you?
If you are always on my mind
I've tried so hard to outrun you
You are never far behind

I never thought I would use you
Where you have gone I will not find
I know the... Cannot contend you
I feel all lost as time goes by
With so much love all around you
How could you never realize?
The ground above, the sky below you
Must beat the hell out of being alive

How many times can I forgive you?
If you are always on my mind
I've tried so hard to outrun you
You are never far behind.
