Lyrics

You're so darn fast and you're so darn good
I feel slow and misunderstood
I feel so small and invisible
In the shadow that you throw

Oooooh
I'm just trying to keep up with you

You're always steps ahead of me
Runnin' so fast I can barely breathe
Like you're walkin' with a crutch
Hope I don't slow you down too much

Ooooh
I'm just trying to keep up with you

I need to be OK
This is not a race
I need to find my way
Into the light of day


You work so hard and you work so long
I feel like I just don't belong
In the likes of your company
I know it's got the best of me


Ooooh
I'm just trying to keep up with you

Oooooh, oooooh
