Boundlessness deceives me
Baby you may turn the corner yet

Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are
I'm a gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time's running out
But now I'm on my way
