Slowing Me Down

I keep putting myself through this

There's just some things I refuse to miss

I'm living my life like I'm someone else

Now it's back to work to play the hand I've dealt

I know I'll be good by five

Pull myself together every other time

The seed's still embedded in the back of my mind

Let the roots take over when the water's refined

I just need some time to reassess

And I wade through that muddy water slowing me down

Slowing me down yea

Well I feel better on the sunny days

The road stretched straight and the ways been paved

The river no longer leads astray

And I feel better on the sunny days

I just need some time to reassess

And I wade through that muddy water slowing

Slowing me down

Well it's slowing me down

And the current no longer holds me back

I've just been trying to keep things on track

This time

I wade through that muddy water slowing

Slowing me down

Slowing me down

And the current no longer holds me back

I've just been trying to keep things on track

I know I'll be better without it

I could give it up but I like it

I keep putting myself through this
