You Don't Move This Fast

Verse

Lace up tight, we run the block

Your stride's a beat I try to clock

You don't move this fast on two feet alone

I'm running to keep your shadow in tow

Concrete hums beneath our soles

The city gives its rhythm, makes us whole

You turn down an alleyway so narrow

Tell me you'll wait for me at the last bend

I'm trying not to watch but I don't understand how

You move like a runner in the dark of dawn

Your shadow disappears into thin air

Leave me with the dust and the city's noise

But your smile keeps glowing long after we're gone

Chorus

You don't move this fast, you don't move at all

Running just to catch up to you, it's never enough

You don't move this fast, but I'd chase you down

Into every alleyway, into the night and out of town

Verse

Neon flickers on your skin so bright

Every step behind you feels like a fight

Sweat drips off my chin onto the ground

I ask if you hear the sound that's moving round

Your eyes sparkle in the amber haze

You whisper to come closer, don't be late

You take another stride and I feel the ground pull loose

Like I'm the one who's floating while you're grounded on two feet so strong

Pre-Chorus

Maybe running isn't how it's done

Maybe this is just what we've become

You keep the rhythm, let me follow behind

Chorus

You don't move this fast, you don't move at all

Running just to catch up to you, it's never enough

You don't move this fast, but I'd chase you down

Into every alleyway, into the night and out of town

Bridge

What if I traded speed for your stride

Traded running wild for walking side by side

Maybe that's faster than I've ever been

Maybe this is how we start to win

Chorus

You don't move this fast, you don't move at all

Running just to catch up to you, it's never enough

You don't move this fast, but I'd chase you down

Into every alleyway, into the night and out of town
