Running
Chasing Time: A Reflection on Life's Fleeting Moments
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Sometimes, the speaker feels a sense of motion.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving real slow
At times, the speaker experiences a slow pace in their movement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Reiteration of the speaker's varying perception of movement.
But I'm running, out of time
Despite the feelings of motion or slowness, the speaker is running out of time.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Similar to line 1, expressing the fluctuating sense of movement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving real slow
Similar to line 2, emphasizing a slow pace at times.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Reiteration of the speaker's changing perception of their speed or progress.
But I'm running out of time
Despite the feelings of movement or slowness, the speaker is running out of time.
Yes I'm running out of time
A confirmation that time is running out for the speaker.
The days go by and it seems like yesterday
Reflecting on the swift passage of time, comparing it to yesterday.
Time stood still couldn't wait to get away
Recalling a time when time seemed to stand still, eager to escape from it.
Took for granted all roses in the field
Taking moments for granted, particularly beautiful experiences symbolized by roses.
It's too late now it's too late my dear
Expressing regret for not appreciating things earlier; it's now too late.
We wished for those things
Desiring certain things to arrive quickly.
To hurry up and get here
Wishing for the fulfillment of desires and goals.
Forgetting all our days
Forgetting past days and experiences.
Forgetting all our stories
Letting go of past stories and memories.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Repetition of the theme of varying perceptions of movement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving real slow
Repetition of feeling a slow pace at times.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Reiteration of the speaker's changing perception of their speed or progress.
But I'm running out of time
Despite the feelings of movement or slowness, the speaker is running out of time.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Similar to line 5, expressing the fluctuating sense of movement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving real slow
Similar to line 6, emphasizing a slow pace at times.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Reiteration of the speaker's changing perception of their speed or progress.
But I'm running out of time
Despite the feelings of movement or slowness, the speaker is running out of time.
Yes I'm running out of time
Confirmation that time is running out for the speaker.
The lines on my face
Noting the visible signs of aging on the speaker's face.
Showing all the years all the years
Highlighting the accumulated years reflected in facial lines.
The lines on my face
Repetition of the impact of time on the speaker's face.
Showing all the those years passing by
Emphasizing the passage of years through facial lines.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving
Repetition of the theme of varying perceptions of movement.
Sometimes I feel like I'm moving real slow
Repetition of feeling a slow pace at times.

Oh I'm running out of time
Final affirmation of the speaker's awareness of time slipping away.
