Right Behind Me

What do I do, what do I say?
Is it really wrong to take what I made?
It's too many questions, I'm
Watching it all encircle the drain
Take in the lost and make it again
Whatever comes after

It's all a matter of time
I did the math and it's the only thing that's been on my mind
Come whatever is now or never
I'll make it better

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more for this to end
I
Don't have that much time
I've been chasing the future
How do I know which way I should go?

(Almost there)
Had to switch my energy
Ducking past my enemies
And these so-called friends with the enemy
I've been too down
And they want the best of me
I'm big on tit-for-tat
When I'm clapping back
Throw a jab at my inner peace, uh
(Ready to go)
Take these shackles off me
(Rows in my eyes)
Put this weight behind me
(Leave when it's time)
Let this love surround me
(Almost there)
The sound I'm learning for you

I've been swept by the waves
That were left in your grace
And I don't really think I'm lost
I just feel out of place
And as I listen to these calls that were caught in your wake
I get lost in all the time like there's something to say
You, I'll see
Locked up
Knocked down, I'm star-struck when you're next to me
Who are we?
We're lost souls
And I'm strung as time stops, then what's left of me

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more for this to end, and-

I've been chasing the future
Forgot the life right behind me
Now I'm stuck in the present
Wanting more for this to end
I
Don't have that much time
I've been chasing the future
How do I know which way I should go?
