Caught Up in the Past

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] There's no crown on my head Golden light instead In the corner of my eye You're still alive [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] There's no crown on my head Golden light instead In the corner of my eye You're still alive [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
