(I realise)

All I want

All I need

Always lies just out of reach

I've been coming up empty



(I realise)

I ran as fast as I can run

I pushed as hard as anyone

But still there's nothing for me



(And I want)

I've tried as hard as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am running a race

Against myself

Against myself

yeah



(I realise)

Running out, struggle on

Am I sorrow as my song

My whole world is half parted



(I realise)

For my pain I have none

After all is said and done

Now I'm back where I started



(And I want)

I've gone as far as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am running a race

Against myself

Against myself

yeah



(And I want)

I've tried as hard as I can

(And I need)

I've taken all I can stand

(And I fall)

But I am losing the race

Against myself

Against myself

yeah



Against myself
