Seems I've been swinging back and forth Or running in one place Suspended to remain on course While Earth turns beneath my feet, yeah Still doing as I was told Went slow and steady Now the trail's gone cold Wait, stick to the plan Don't get discouraged The weight will shift again The carrot hangs A little further out each day With every single step I take So hard to notice What has changed Dominoes lined up With too much space between One falls, but the rest stay standing No chain reaction They don't connect Is this the way it's always been? I'm too far gone to see No I am not killing time, yeah Time is killing me, yeah Still doing as I was told Went slow and steady Now the trail's gone cold Wait, stick to the plan Don't get discouraged The weight will shift again The illusion of progress is all I see Inching forward with my fingernail length And yet I find myself stuck at the beginning Chasing my own tail again The light at the end of the tunnel barely grows How long is too long? Can I move on? Don't make the same mistake as me I can't move on It's been too long
