Jeff Elbel + Ping - Getting Ahead of Myself Lyrics

Always lived with the feeling
The end could be coming soon
Learned to live with the pa-ra-noi-a
Learned to run on the fumes

It's tempered by realization
It's no good to live in fear
At least I'm taking nothing for granted
And so far, I'm still here

Maybe someday I'll slow down
And won't have to push so hard
Watch my sunshine girl turn gray
And chase her kids in the yard

But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today

The climb today so uncertain
Who's gonna prick the balloon?
And I can be high strung to begin with
So I'm hardly immune

Fear sketches Death in a turban
Hate tucks a bomb in a shoe
Justice ignites, but the fire
Burns more than the guilty few

Maybe someday we'll wake up
With sorrow swept away
Gather rainbow colors 'round
And teach ourselves to play

But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today

And the success that I strive for
It's nothing to another man
We've never played on the main stage
Or put a Dove in the can

But we'll keep on chasing the shiver
Bury it deep in red
Until it's locked in your brainwaves
Can't pull it from your head

I've still got some big ideas
And I'm gonna see them through
I can't help but think that one
Could make that dream come true

But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
Shine a light into the dark
And try to find my way
I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you
I thank you for today

Thank you
Thank you, thank you
I wanna thank you
Please, thank you
