Lyrical Analysis of...
**RACING**9/14
- NoVanity223
- **[Intro]**
- Yeah, yeah
- Heart too fast, I can’t slow it down
- Too many thoughts when you’re not around
- Running from myself all through this town
- If I crash tonight, would you stick around?
- **[Chorus]**
- I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
- Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
- Memories chase me, screaming out your name
- No matter where I go, it all feels the same
- Racing, racing, tryna get away
- Foot down on the gas, but the past won’t fade
- You said forever, then forever went to waste
- Now I’m flying through the night with tears on my face
- **[Verse 1]**
- Dash lights glowing, 2:30 in the morning
- Phone on silent, but your pictures keep calling
- Said I moved on, guess I’m better at talking
- Every road I take leads back where we started
- Scars underneath what I show to the world
- Lost myself giving everything to a girl
- You were my peace, then you flipped up my world
- Now my head spins fast when the tires start to burn
- Foot on the gas, I don’t wanna think
- Stop for a second, I’m back on the brink
- You said love was forever, forever was quick
- Now your name on my heart like permanent ink
- **[Pre Chorus]**
- Red lights, I’m flying right through
- Can’t outrun anything tied back to you
- Rearview full of what we went through
- Wish I could go back, but what would that do?
- **[Chorus]**
- I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
- Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
- Memories chase me, screaming out your name
- No matter where I go, it all feels the same
- Racing, racing, tryna get away
- Foot down on the gas, but the past won’t fade
- You said forever, then forever went to waste
- Now I’m flying through the night with tears on my face
- **[Verse 2]**
- Gas light flashing, I still won’t stop
- Running on empty since everything dropped
- Love went cold, made my whole heart lock
- Now I fight these demons round the clock
- Everybody says I gotta move on
- They don’t see the nights when the strength is gone
- Eyes on the ceiling till the early dawn
- Still hear your voice even though you’re gone
- Maybe I’m hooked on the hurt and the speed
- Maybe all this running ain’t what I need
- I wanted your heart, you wanted to leave
- Now I pick up the pieces while my hands still bleed
- **[Bridge]**
- Slow down, slow down
- That’s what my head keeps saying
- My heart won’t listen
- It just keeps racing
- No brakes, no brakes
- I’m scared of what I’m facing
- So I keep driving
- Like the road might save me
- **[Final Chorus]**
- I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
- Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
- Memories chase me, screaming out your name
- But tonight I’m done driving myself insane
- Racing, racing, now I’m changing lanes
- Maybe I can heal without running away
- You were a chapter, you don’t decide my fate
- So I’m letting off the gas ’fore it gets too late
- **[Outro]**
- Yeah, I’m letting off the gas
- I can’t keep living this fast
- Some things belong in the past
- I’m done racing from that
- Yeah...
