I Can't Run That Fast

© 2015 Mark Cote

Make me run when I only crawl
you push me forward I trip and fall
when I advance I hit a wall
where will I be after it all

dizzy thoughts go round and round
for I live without a sound
in my ear the buzz astounds
what I seek here cannot be found

(chorus) I can't run
                  I can't run that fast
                  reeling and confused as you fly past
                  I can't run
                  I can't run that fast
                  will you wait for me is what I ask
                  I can't run
                  I can't run that fast

so many words it's hard to read
in a blur of lines and themes I see
I need to get myself up to speed
I know you see all I could be

(chorus)

while I walk on shifting sand
Like peeking at wonderland
so many things to understand
life never works quite like we planned

(chorus)
