On My Heels Lyrics

I'm not scared of what's to come

I know this spinning's almost done

Been staring down a smoking gun for sometime

Made it out alive somehow

Use my hands now they're unbound

Unravel ropes as they are found

Oh unwind

I would love to slow down and enjoy it

But the world's on my heels

I would never recover from the back of the pack

The world's on my heels

Holding out for rain

Could really do without the drought soon

Burnt at high noon

There's been no easy way

I'm holding out for rain

I heard there's gonna be a monsoon

For this late bloom

I'm counting every day

I've seen it take root and hold

I've heard the jokes get gray and old

My attention's bought and sold at fair price

I'll live a life inside my means

And fight the fear that I'm unseen

Complain about losing steam and still try

Holding out for rain

Could really do without the drought soon

Burnt at high noon

There's been no easy way

I'm holding out for rain

I heard there's gonna be a monsoon

For this late bloom

I'm counting every day

I would love to slow down and enjoy it

But the world's on my heels

I would never recover from the back of the pack

The world's on my heels

The steady roar of combustion

A growing storm I can't outrun

Sit in silence in the sun till I burn

One day soon I'll long for this

Nostalgic for the things I've missed

While I was busy making lists

Can I learn?

Holding out for rain

Could really do without the drought soon

Burnt at high noon

There's been no easy way

I'm holding out for rain

I heard there's gonna be a monsoon

For this late bloom

I'm counting every day

I would love to slow down and enjoy it

But the world's on my heels

I would never recover from the back of the pack

The world's on my heels
