lyrics

Slow down, slow down, we’ve seen this before
But you can’t slow down (You could worry some more)
It’s like friction to a freight train and
Quarantine the right brain and
Freeze the fever there and strip the lining bare
’Til there’s songs, nothing's wrong, you can sing until she’s gone
You try to shake yourself awake, but you know you’ll never learn
There’s still plenty on your plate and
Bet you’re tired of being patient
Still you know all that matters is her, yeah

Her
Her

Timing’s not all but it’s more than we'd like
And some day you’ll grow old despite your best fight
I guess it’s not the right time at all
There’s no piece of mind in your
Freeze the fever there and strip the lining bare
If I thought I was wrong then I’d find a new song
Come on shake yourself awake, ‘cause I’m still trying to learn
There's still your new road ahead
Everyone's hands on deck
Until then someone’s bound to get hurt

Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
