[Verse 1]
I'm cold and I'm shaking
With knuckles of white
And I cant help from feeling like I'm chasing taillights
My friends are freewheeling
At the speed of sound
And I cant help from feeling like It's me they're running down

[Chorus]
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me

[Verse 2]
To know if i'm crazy
'Cause I never seem to learn
And pray that someone comes and saves me
Before I crash and burn
Before I crash and burn
Come and save me before I crash and burn

[Chorus]
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me

[Verse 3]
Now my friend if you could do it all again
I'm the type to make ammends
And I'll see you in the end

The world is overtaking me
The world is overtaking me
Now i can clearly see
the future's now in front of me
I'm gonna ask you politely (???)

[Outro]
And I feel you watching over me
And I feel you watching over me
Now everybody clearly sees
That the world is imaginary
That the world is imaginary
