On These Tracks













Overcome, I’m tired now
I’ve kept my smile lifted for hours
It’s time to sleep
Will you come lie with me?
Let your presence be the warmth to ease the cold of my pain

High and low, this rhythm never changes
I wrote you a letter and you ripped the pages
There go the pieces of my heart
It’s beginning to get comfortable in the dark

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

There’s this voice I’ve been hearing lately
It whispers words that frighten me
“This is it. This is all there is.”
I crawl under the covers and hide ‘til the light wakes me

There are simply too many questions
How can I rest?
I’ve been running so long
When am I allowed to take a breath?
I wish you’d appear by my side and press me to your heart all night

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

(Piano)

Empty moments, anticipated sighs
Blank surprises, unexpected cries
Losing the game despite my tries
A candle flame slowly dies
Why, oh why can’t I just be with you?

My life is racin’ on these tracks
I used to be inspired, but now I just wanna go back home
I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone

I’d rather die in your arms than be here alone
Because wherever you are, babe, is where I belong
