OFFSPRING
- Race Against Myself Lyrics / with translations(I realize)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
(I realize)
I run 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 realize)
Running out, struggle on
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half parted
(I realize)
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
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
(I realize)
I run 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 realize)
Running out, struggle on
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half parted
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
