You can see that time is tick-tocking away Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can avoid today You wondered too far to seal the deal Got a trunkload of ambition but you’re asleep at the wheel Your dreams are a distraction that life continues to steal Chorus: You’re giving up, But you can’t give in You’ve left it behind but it’s back again Yeah.. you gotta pass the test Expect nothing but the best You thought your thoughts would change the world But you exchanged it at the counter for a dollar cheque and a girl You’re the one to keep it out of reach You’re rich with your talk but they say talk is cheap The truth is locked between the secrets that you keep Chorus Break/Middle Eight: You keep running away You ride out all your days You keep running away You ride out all your days Give it up, give it up Let is sleep, bury it deep But still you gotta pass the test Expect nothing but the best

You, Me and the Cat

By Brian Hendrix


A very upbeat, fun song. It's one of those that turned out way better than the few lines I was playing with when writing it. It's very folksy-country without being too genre-specific either. Probably one of my favorite choruses I've ever written. It's more of a whimsical story, though a lot of people can still probably relate to love moving really fast. The bridge is also my favorite. I think you'll love it.
