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
