You Fall Behind

Stronger than a calling,
faster than a blink of an eye,
longer than the wanting,
softer than it takes to make you cry,
how you came so close to understand it,
and life as you know it sweeps you by,
and how you try.
Didn’t know how to breathe all broken-hearted,
Holding on to believe in the power of time,
takes over your mind now we parted,
you run faster, still you fall behind.
Don’t know how to surrender,
running wild we choose to fight,
dreaming of keeping the face,
finding it hard to see the light.
No peace will suffice the sadness,
walking on with your head down in the sand.
Didn’t know how to breathe all broken-hearted,
Holding on to believe in the power of time,
takes over your mind now we parted,
you run faster, still you fall behind.
