When can I just admit that I’ve been hating this?
Can’t bridge the distance between sentiment and happiness
Am I self-medicating or am I just having fun?
Can’t tell the difference when I hide my thoughts from everyone

Just play it cool
Shake it up you wanted to

Slow down
How could I ever speak my mind you were never around?
So just slow down
It’s getting hard to breathe when I’ve always got my foot in my mouth

We were the first ones to be dancing at the party
Sunday morning sipping whiskey in our coffee
Now I self-medicate, just tell myself I’m having fun
I’m treading granite but I don’t know what I’m running from

But I know I’m chasing a pipe-dream, something I’ll never be
Constantly overstating fallacies
Why can’t we do this? Why can’t we?

Slow down
How could I ever speak my mind you were never around?
So just slow down
It’s getting hard to breathe when I’ve always got my foot in my mouth

You were the only one that I could be honest with
We fell asleep on lakeshore drive as the bus drove past Lake Michigan
Wish I remember what you said when you spoke to me in French, we were drinking in your north side dorm room
Was I enough to come home to?

Slow down
How could I ever speak my mind you were never around?
So just slow down
It’s getting hard to breathe when I’ve always got my foot in my mouth
