Runaway Lyrics

What am i chasing after ?
Who is running after me ?
I never stop, even asleep.
I run with my eyes wide open,
with always a delay time.
The more i speed up
the more the gap is widening.
Each day i run with outstretched arms,
i am ready to stumble and stand rooted to the spot.
I am ready to tear down the stairs one by one.
Those stairs i was climbing four at a time
without ever looking up to the top
not to lose heart.
Where are the walkers
i've been running after ?
They went down the road which cuts across,
out of the beaten tracks.

I will never meet them again.
They are a long way ahead,
they advance by leaps and bounds.
Running is to flee from what is needed.
