Lyrics[]

You can call me a loser

Call me a fool

Tell me I'm crazy

You can send me back to school



But I've got my reasons

And it's right for a change

Time keeps moving on

But I got to turn the page



No more running

Time to face the task

This ship is sinking

Untie me from the mast



Moving forward

One foot on the gas

Cause you can't touch the future

If you're sleeping with the past



There's no hard labor

No blood, sweat and tears

Can take you to heaven

Or wash away your fears



So don't try and fight it

When it's your destiny

And there ain't no better thing

Than being what you want to be



Goodbye worries

Indecision's gone

I've got what I need

To carry me along



Crossing the border

I see that greener grass

You can't touch the future

If you're sleeping with the past



Come the morning

Well I know I'm gonna feel the same

Cause I heard the warning

I'm not gonna let it get to me again



Woo-hoo



So it's no more running

Time to face the task

This ship is sinking

Untie me from the mast



Moving forward

One foot on the gas

But you can't touch the future

If you're sleeping with the past



Good-bye worries

Indecision's gone

I've got what I need

To carry me along



Crossing the border

I see that greener grass

You can't touch the future

If you're sleeping with the past



Oh, if you're sleeping with the past
