Downhill Racer Lyrics

From the top, you can see so far into the distance
Look, it's downhill all the way from here
And getting there is quicker, let go and you just slide
Shouldn't take more than a year

And I could almost like you
Now it's nearly over
Now you've shown some weakness
Now you're looking older

And I heard what you said and I recognized those feelings
I know how hard it is to watch it go
And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place
And all the effort not to let the effort show

And I could almost like you
Now you're falling over
[ Everything But The Girl Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Now you're feeling hopeless
Now you're looking over your shoulder

If you could ride the backlash there's still time for a comeback
You don't have to lie down and die
But Lazarus, he only did it just the one time
He couldn't face another try

And I could almost like you
Now it's really over
Now you've shown some weakness
Now you're looking over your shoulder

Who's gonna come and find you?
Who's gonna come and find you?

From the top, you can see so far into the distance
Look, it's downhill all the way from here
And getting there is quicker, let go and you just slide
