[Verse 1: Felix, Changbin]
Where you going? It's hard to keep up
You're moving so fast, leaving me behind
Give me an hour, that's all I need
It's now or never, I'm running out of time
The seconds are relentless, I'm helpless as they keep flying by
Stuck here in the desert, I feel like I'm in an hourglass
Maybe I can stay and be comfortable living in the past
But I don't wanna be alone so can you take me to you now

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Know, I.N]
Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope
We used to walk together down this winding road
But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Han]
And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold
Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode
Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white
Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo

[Post-Chorus: Bang Chan, Seungmin]
I'm afraid I'm gonna be left stranded by myself
All the foolish dreams I had inside of me are broken
Everything I wanted in the distance out of reach
Am I the only one that's gon' stay here forgotten, ayy

[Verse 2: Hyunjin, Changbin, Han]
So many thoughts are inside of my head
I'm always drying these tears on my face
How could I ever get used to the fact that
The songs and the lyrics, they all sound the same
"Come on, I know you can do it"
I have to repeat it again and again, yeah
I wanna look in the mirror
Telling myself that I did a good job, ayy
Everyone gonna be watching
I gotta show 'em all of me
But I've been insecure lately
'Cause I don't know what they want from me, ayy
Feeling so nervous, I wanna go forward
But everyone else overtaking me
Blocking my vision, my body is shaking
I don't know if I can keep up, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Know, I.N]
Too fast, I try to follow but I'm losing hope
We used to walk together down this winding road
But you're so far ahead, it seems impossible to catch up

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Han]
And now I'm walking on my way, all alone, I'm feeling so cold
Not getting anywhere, I feel like I'm in slow mode
Used to be a winner, everything was all black and white
Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo

[Post-Chorus: Bang Chan, Seungmin]
I'm afraid I'm gonna be left stranded by myself
All the foolish dreams I had inside of me are broken
Everything I wanted in the distance out of reach
Am I the only one that's gon' stay here forgotten, ayy
