Ahead of Myself (Stripped)

I’m standing in a picture

Wondering how I got here and I

Wish I could step out of the frame

Get somewhere down the line and see it from far away

I wanna cry in a bathroom

Take it all out on a white wall tattoo

Beat myself to the punch

Be the good guy for once

Instead of the one making mistakes

If all is fair in love and war

What am I so worried for

There’s just so much I can’t undo

And when it comes to you

I wanna get ahead of myself so

I don’t ever hurt someone else oh

I wanna run fast enough so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up

I wanna get ahead of myself so

When it comes to loving someone else

I wanna make friends with all I've done so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up

I know I can’t go backwards

Build a time machine and rewrite chapters

It’s hard to break a pattern

Even if it’s happiness I’m after

If all is fair in love and war

I can’t stay where I’ve been before

‘Cause what I know no longer true

When it comes to you

I wanna get ahead of myself so

I don’t ever hurt someone else oh

I wanna run fast enough so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up

I wanna get ahead of myself so

When it comes to loving someone else

I wanna make friends with all I've done so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up

Nothing I ever do will ever ever catch up

Oh I swear I’m almost there

Yeah I’m one good heart away

Oh I swear I’m almost there

Gotta keep going anyway

Oh I swear I’m almost there

Yeah I’m one good heart away

Oh I swear I’m almost there

Gotta keep going anyway

I wanna get ahead of myself so

I don’t ever hurt someone else oh

I wanna run fast enough so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up

I wanna get ahead of myself so

When it comes to loving someone else

I wanna make friends with all I've done so

Nothing I ever do will ever catch up no

Nothing I ever do will ever ever catch up
