Moving Target Lyrics

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living for the night
I don't wanna spend the rest of my time hiding when I know I'm right
Don't wanna wake up in a cold sweat praying for the day to come
Don't wanna chase my tail until my legs are old and gone

I'm like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It won't be long - it won't be long

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Like a story from a book
I don't wanna be afraid
When people start to look
I don't wanna have to say
That I'd rather be alone
I don't wanna have to change so much
I'm someone I don't know

I'm like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It won't be long - it won't be long
I'm like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It won't be long - it won't be long

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
