[Intro]
Something in my chest, a clock that won’t slow down
Footsteps echo loud, in a neon heart of town
[Verse 1]
I’m racing with my shadows through the alley of my mind
Past mistakes in pursuit, they’re growing more unkind
Every corner a memory, every sign a stubborn doubt
I push the pedal down in fear, try to outrun what’s spilling out
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath on the glass, a whisper of what I could be
If I slow I lose the night, if I run I hollowly breathe
[Chorus]
I’m chasing yesterday, I’m chasing what I owe
The past stays close behind me, it won’t bend or let me go
Speeding through the gray, I’m hoping for a glow
To break these chains I’ve made with the tracks I only know
[Verse 2]
Spare thoughts crash like rain on a windshield of regret
I maneuver through the wreckage of a self I won’t forget
A red light in my chest says maybe I should stop and learn
But the engine roars a anthem: survive, then rise, then turn
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath on the glass, a whisper of what I could be
If I slow I lose the night, if I run I hollowly breathe
[Chorus]
I’m chasing yesterday, I’m chasing what I owe
The past stays close behind me, it won’t bend or let me go
Speeding through the gray, I’m hoping for a glow
To break these chains I’ve made with the tracks I only know
[Bridge]
If I glance in the rearview, I might miss the road ahead
So I tilt my chin to dawn, and tell my fear to shed
A shift in gears, a quieter pace, a chance to redefine
To outrun the worst and keep the best, one minute at a time
[Chorus]
I’m chasing yesterday, I’m chasing what I owe
The past stays close behind me, it won’t bend or let me go
But I found a spark within the chase, a mercy in the flow
I’m learning how to hold my ground and let the finish show
[Outro]
Past the finish line I’ll breathe, the chase becomes my guide
Not fleeing who I was, but steering toward the light inside
