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
