Verse 1
I look back at what I didn’t do,
The roads I left, the dreams I knew.
Moments lost like grains of sand,
Slip right through my trembling hand.
Every choice that wasn’t right,
Echoes deep into the night.
I try to leave it all behind,
But the past keeps running through my mind.
Pre-Chorus
Time drifts like smoke through open hands,
I chase it fast, but it disbands.
The past keeps calling all the time,
And hunts me down again… every time.
Chorus
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, then gone by day.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Marks the path I can’t deny.
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, gone by day.
No matter how I try to run,
The past comes back… to hunt me every time.
Verse
Faces fade, and streets have changed,
Moments I loved now feel estranged.
Promises I couldn’t keep,
Whisper secrets in my sleep.
I try to go, I try to move,
Piece by piece, I try to prove
That forward is a place I’ll find,
But shadows linger in my mind.
Pre-Chorus
Time drifts like smoke through open hands,
I chase it fast, but it disbands.
Every memory, every line,
Pulls me back through folds of time.
Chorus
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, then gone by day.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Marks the path I can’t deny.
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, gone by day.
No matter how I try to run,
The past comes back… to hunt me every time.
Bridge:
Mirrors crack, the past reflects,
All the choices I regret.
Silent rooms and fading songs,
What I loved is still too strong.
Chorus
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, then gone by day.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Marks the path I can’t deny.
I’m chasing time, it slips away,
Burning bright, gone by day.
No matter how I try to run,
The past comes back… to hunt me every time.
Outro
(The past comes back… to hunt me every time)
(The past comes back…)
Ooooh… to hunt me every time
