Album Notes
You walk into rooms and the air shifts
Everyone turns their head like I'm not there
You're saying something and they're laughing
I'm just background noise again
And I keep trying, God I'm trying
But you're not even running
You just exist like that
You just exist like that and I just don't
And that might be the worst part of this
I'll never catch up to you
Even if I spent my whole life trying to
You don't even know there's a race
While I'm begging for second place
I'll never catch up to you
And you don't even have a clue
That I've been right here all along
Just invisible while you belong
And you're not even perfect
Somehow being flawed
Just makes you more interesting
I didn't want you, I wanted to be you
I'm so exhausted from performing
What you do like breathing
You just glow and I just don't
You're not even trying
I can't try hard enough
I'll never catch up to you
Even if I spent my whole life trying to
You don't even know there's a race
While I'm begging for second place
I'll never catch up to you
And you don't even have a clue
That I've been right here all along
Just invisible while you belong
Maybe I should thank you for the lesson
For showing me that I'll always be two steps behind
Just out of frame in every picture
Not even worth your blame or your attention
You're not the villain, I know that
I know that
I'll never catch up to you
And I'm so tired of pretending that's not true
I'll my peace with this empty space
I'll never catch up to you
But maybe that's just what some people do
The ones who stand back and watch you shine
From the back of the line
Always from the back of the line
You walk into rooms and the air shifts
Everyone turns their head like I'm not there
You're saying something and they're laughing
I'm just background noise again
