Lyrics

Verse1

everybody's running somewhere

everybody knows the way

everybody talks like tomorrow

is a debt we have to pay

i was trying to keep up with them

counting every step i made

then i missed another turning

and the world kept moving anyway

PreChorus1

maybe i don't need the answer

maybe i don't need the race

if they're leaving me behind now

i can find another way

Chorus1

everybody's running

i don't wanna run tonight

everybody's reaching

for another finish line

let them keep on moving

let them disappear from sight

everybody's running

i'm gonna take my time

PostChorus1

take my time

take my time

i'm gonna take my time

Verse2

everybody loves a number

something showing where you stand

everybody wants a future

they can hold inside their hands

i was measuring the distance

like it meant that i had failed

then i stopped to watch the evening

and forgot what i was chasing anyway

PreChorus2

maybe i don't need the answer

maybe losing ground is fine

if they're always getting somewhere

i can leave that race behind

Chorus2

everybody's running

i don't wanna run tonight

everybody's reaching

for a place they haven't found

let them keep on moving

i don't need to get there first

everybody's running

i'm gonna make this moment mine

PostChorus2

make it mine

make it mine

i'm gonna make this moment mine

Bridge

i thought falling back meant losing

i thought standing still meant fear

but the world looks so much different

when you finally stop from here

i can hear the city breathing

i can watch the evening turn

maybe getting there means nothing

if you never know what you learned

PreChorus3

maybe i don't need the answer

maybe i was never late

if they're racing toward tomorrow

i can meet it when it comes

FinalChorus

everybody's running

i don't wanna run tonight

everybody's reaching

for another finish line

let them keep on moving

let them disappear from sight

everybody's running

i'm gonna take my time

everybody's running

but i'm finally standing still

everybody's looking forward

i'm just looking where i am

Outro

take my time

take my time

maybe i'm already there
