[Chorus]
Everybody talking in my head (Hurry up)
I don’t wanna stop and they forget (Hurry up)
Only ever chasing what’s next (Hurry up)
Only ever running from regret (Hurry up)

[Post-Chorus]
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go out
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go out
[Verse 1]
Unproductive in my early 20s
Swallow back anxiety, it hurt my stomach
I don’t really like this version of me
Everybody saying that I’ll learn to love me, we’ll see
Stuck inside the comfort zone, where nothing grows
Looking ’round like I been here before
Kept saying I’ll do it next year, that was last year
And then the time before that was the year before
Next thing I know it, there’s five years passing me by
Nothing but promises to myself, I guess that I lied
I stopped walking when I said that I’d taken a stride
How can I tell my kid to try when I ain’t even tried?
Damn, guess I need that reality check
Keep on repeating the mistakes I said won’t happen again
Looking around at everybody else, they having success
Wasting my time, waiting, thinking that I had to be next
Put that version of myself in a casket to rest
Eyes bloodshot, looking like I’m back from the dead
I ain’t catching Zs, let alone catching my breath
Damn, guess this life has some adverse effects
I can’t stop, ’cause

[Chorus]
Everybody talking in my head (Hurry up)

I don’t wanna stop and they forget (Hurry up)
Only ever chasing what’s next (Hurry up)
Only ever running from regret (Hurry up)

[Post-Chorus]
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go out
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go out

[Verse 2]
Overly productive in my late twenties
Everything I want from life I take from it
I set plans, had a goal, hit ’em all, took a toll
But everyone who doubted couldn’t say nothing
Work-life balance, I’m tryna juggle that
Touring with my family ’cause we hunting packs
Son is on the phone crying, asking when we coming back
Tryna get this money stacked, he just wants his mom and dad, damn
I was on the road, did 32 shows
Hopping off stages, switching clothes, I open my phone
Edit all this content alone, I needed to post
Because if I don’t, they’ll forget me and may never show up again, right?
Look, my mind is in a hundred places
Autopilot on stage, yeah I sung the phrases
But deep down, I’m distracted by some frustration
I try to push it down, but it’s suffocating
Run in place or become complacent
Too much stress or no stress, that’s the ultimatum
I’m tryna play both sides like a double agent
Got everything I wanted, do I love or hate it?

[Chorus]
Everybody talking in my head (Hurry up)
I don’t wanna stop and they forget (Hurry up)
Only ever chasing what’s next (Hurry up)
Only ever running from regret (Hurry up)

[Post-Chorus]
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go out
Running, running, running, running
Yeah, running til the lights go-
