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 Northside 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
