Derek Pope - Passing a Baton
I keep running round in circles like
Passing a baton
The days all melt together now
Most the lights are gone
I say it’s getting better now
Knowing that I’m wrong
Don’t wonder how you’re doing just
Hope you’re moving on
★ Verse 1 ★
I find it hard to see the forest for the trees
Sometimes it’s there sometimes I struggle to believe
Does that make me weak?
I thought that honesty is key
To open the lock
This room there’s barely room to breathe
★ Bridge ★
Show me what’s in store
Came here wanting more
What’s it all been for
What’s it all been for
★ Chorus ★
I keep running round in circles like
Passing a baton
The days all melt together now
Most the lights are gone
I say it’s getting better now
Knowing that I’m wrong
Don’t wonder how you’re doing just
Hope you’re moving on
★ Verse 2 ★
Is there anyone alive out there?
I’m drowning in the desert
Gave all I had to spare
To watch you blossom
★ Outro ★
You’ll see
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
I’ll be free to
Die among the tumbleweeds
Every drug’s not you, every high’s not me
But I’ll float right here when it gets too deep
