Everything but The Girl - Downhill Racer lyrics

From the top you can see so far into the distance.

Look, it's downhill all the way from here.

And getting there is quicker, let go and you just slide.

Shouldn't take more then a year.

I could almost like you,

Now it's nearly over,

Now you've shown some weakness,

Now you're looking older.

I heard what you said,

And I recognize those feelings.

I know how hard it is to watch it go.

And all the effort that it took to get there in the first place

And all the effort not to let the effort show.

I could almost like you

Now we're falling over.

Now you've feeling hopeless,

Now you're looking over your shoulder.

Who's gonna come and find you?

If you can ride the backlash

There's still time for a comeback.

You don't have to lie down and die.

But Lazarus he only did it the one time -

He couldn't face another try.

I could almost like you

Now you're falling over,

Now you've shown some weakness,

Now you're looking over your shoulder.

Who's gonna come and find you?

Who's coming up behind you.
