[Intro]
It's so pretty in my backyard
I haven't mown the lawn since I moved in and it's all overgrown and blooming
And I like it that way
Nothing kept at bay
Make sure the 5 o'clock is carefully past when I awake
So I don't feel dysphoric
When I touch my face
I don't know nothing

[Verse 1]
Got too many words I couldn't [all say?]
So I decide to say nothing at all and stay
Patient for the moment I'll wait
Till it's the right time
Never feels quite right
Always catch myself falling
Sit here with my resting long face
And I've been doing it too long, it's something
I just can't help now
I know I get tired

[Chorus]
I know I'm a letdown
I know I'm a letdown, oh
I know I'm a letdown
Please, just let me down slow
I know I'm a letdown
I know I'm a letdown, oh
I know I'm a letdown
Please, just let me down slow
[Verse 2]
Nothing is pure as ashes
I don't see balance
I just see a little good and a lot of bad things
Nothing pure as ashes
Temporarily convinced myself that heaven's real when someone passes
Nothing pure as ashes
When you bury me don't put me down backwards
And my coffin's a time capsule
I need a captain, I'm crashing

[Bridge]
I have so much to say but I'll just shut up for now
I wanna burn it down
I wanna be in love
You were my best memory
You're just a memory now
I get lost in the [whiles?]
I know I get tired

[Chorus]
I know I'm a letdown
I know I'm a letdown, oh
I know I'm a letdown
Please, just let me down slow
I know I'm a letdown
I know I'm a letdown, oh
I know I'm a letdown
Please, just let me down slow
