The Tortoise and the Hare

I started out, I started ahead

I’ll be the tortoise, you be the hare

While these waves are crashing over my head

And I’ll save all I’ve got, for the end

You always said, you always said

You would come back for me; you would come back for me

You always said, you always said

You would come back to the start

Will you come back to the start

You always said, you always said

All this is make-believe, but you believe anything

You always said, the lies we read

Won’t take us back to the start

We’re wondering, the lion’s den,

There right in front of me, Oh what a sight to see

The forfeits read, we’re left for dead

Oh take me back to the start, will you come back to the start

I started out, I started ahead

I’ll be the tourist, you be the mayor

While these waves are crashing over my head

And I’ll save all I’ve got, for the end

So wade, in a sea of doubt

Wake, oh it’s raining out

The sun will borrow and bleach it out

The chemicals in my veins

So run, where we can’t be found

Away from all this sight and sound

The sun will borrow and bleach it out

The chemicals are what I’ve been feeling
