Always 5 years, always 5 years
Always 5 years behind
Everybody’s expectations
That they have of my life
Keep on swimming, keep on swimming
Just to keep my head up
My heart is heavy like my body

I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)
I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)

Always 5 years, always 5 years
Always 5 years behind
Slowly veering off the path that they paved for my life
Keep on pushing, keep on pushing
Just to keep myself up
My heart is heavy like my body

I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)
I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)

I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)
I wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed
If I didn’t let time take control (of me)

I keep on trying (try to maintain control)
I keep on trying (keep my feet on the ground)
I keep on trying (try to break through this fall)
I keep on trying (try not to let it all go)
I keep on trying (try to maintain control)
I keep on trying (keep my feet on the ground)
I keep on trying (try to break through this fall)
I keep on trying (try not to let it all go)
