Falling Behind

I can’t ever catch up to you You always seem to be two steps away But I can never seem to reach you It feels like I’ll be chasing after you forever I wish I was as fast as you I could run with you holding hands Cherishing being together I try to catch up to you I try to throw a lasso The rope untwines in my hands I run faster But the faster I run the more the gap widens I try to shout for you Yell your name I trip in my own steps I trip over a rock Three steps Four steps The gap only widens the harder I try The gap seems like a ocean now I guess I can’t ever catch up to you I guess I’ll just stand and watch
