"Caught Up In The Past" lyrics

"Caught Up In The Past"

Ace Hotel
Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds
Drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love
With a love that just can't last
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past

I get so far behind
I forget I'm following
That's the kind of sad
I wallow in

I'm the last in line
And the line's moving fast
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past

There's no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You're still alive

Pull down the gate
Turn out the lights
I'm a rising sun
That only rolls in at night

There's a fading flag
I keep flying half-mast
But no one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past

There's no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You're still alive

Ace Hotel
Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds
Drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love
With a love that just can't last
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past

Oh it's a race against time
But you're never gonna be that fast
'Cause no one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
No one stands a chance
Getting caught up in the past
