[00:14.000]I wake up sweating in the middle of the night
[00:24.533]The deadline's breathing heavy, keeping me uptight
[00:29.556]I throw my covers off and hit the floor
[00:33.844]My mind is spinning, I can't ignore the score
[00:37.489]I triple-check my work and cut the slack
[00:42.667]I read the words again, then double back
[00:46.956]But every time I clear one tiny leap
[00:50.200]Somebody moves the bar so high and steep
[00:54.600]The finish line keeps sliding to the side
[00:58.400]The harder that I run, the more it hides
[01:02.822]I'm working hard, but something says I'm slow
[01:07.156]No matter what I do, I'm still below
[01:12.067]The finish line keeps sliding to the side
[01:15.878]The harder that I run, the more it hides
[01:20.233]The more I try, the less I seem to know
[01:25.211]If all this running ever helps me grow
[01:48.100]I triple-check my work and cut the slack
[01:52.456]I read the words again, then double back
[01:56.767]But every time I clear one tiny leap
[02:00.011]Somebody moves the bar so high and steep
[02:04.278]The finish line keeps sliding to the side
[02:08.189]The harder that I run, the more it hides
[02:12.611]I'm working hard, but something says I'm slow
[02:16.344]No matter what I do, I'm still below
[02:21.789]The finish line keeps sliding to the side
[02:25.633]The harder that I run, the more it hides
[02:29.967]The more I try, the less I seem to know
