Don't hold your breath, don't you cry Sit there wondering what went wrong To deserve all those lies Empty vows is all you've got All alone you were left to pave my way He was so far away He was so far away from love Unaware, went and made the same mistakes He was so far away And I'm left wondering if you're Racing against the sun Hoping that you'll find Someone who will Save you from your dusk You're racing against the sun She sacrificed youthful days Like tidal waves came crashing down Years of work, honest pay A yielded heart, a love divine I was left to play father and give you strength He was so far away He was so far away from love Unaware, went and made the same mistakes He was so far away And I'm left wondering if you're Racing against the sun Hoping that you'll find Someone that will Save you from your dusk She's racing against the sun She's hoping she'll find someone She wants to get away She wants to get away She'll never get away She'll never get away She wants to get away She wants to get away She'll never get away She'll never get away She's racing against the sun She's racing against the sun She's hoping she'll find someone She's racing against the sun
