Shake - Unturned

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
