My restless mind wonders

Is this the way that I'm meant to go?

I've been walking quite fiercely

But honestly I don't know

There is so much to do

And I've only got so little time

I run to the next thing and further

I run 'til I pass myself by

Oh, the world's spinning faster

And I'm never able to flee

And even when I'm standing still

It keeps changing around me

Could somebody hit pause

And allow me to breathe?

And could I stop worrying

About so many things I don't need?

And meanwhile there's so many beautiful things

That I don't even see

Will I ever become who I am

If I keep asking who I will be?

Could somebody hit pause

Please?

I deliver my lines

But is this the side that I'm meant to show?

And if they expect you to stay who you are

Is there still room to grow?

I've been trying to keep staying ahead

So I can take a break

But if there's never enough peace to sleep

How could I ever truly be awake?

Oh, the world's spinning faster

And I'm never able to flee

And even when I'm standing still

It keeps changing around me

Could somebody hit pause

And allow me to breathe?

And could I stop worrying

About so many things I don't need?

And meanwhile there's so many beautiful things

That I don't even see

Will I ever become who I am

If I keep asking who I will be?

Could somebody hit pause

Please?

A head in the clouds

When I'll stand on both feet

And feel all that I need

It's the air that I breathe

It's the air that I breathe

Could somebody hit pause

And allow me to breathe?

And could I stop worrying

About so many things I don't need?

And meanwhile there's so many beautiful things

That I don't even see

Will I ever become who I am

If I keep asking who I will be?

Could somebody hit pause

Please?
