Slow it down, take it easy
Oh, I'm safe and sound
But there's something that's getting to me now
Knots in my stomach, I'm not falling for another
'Cause this is fully taking over
Plus this construct is gonna smother us
I wish away my day's work, waiting on some free time
Pissed 'cause I'm still facing dirt and feeling like I need mine
And this ain't nothing new like chuckling off bud and booze
From young I've been a troubled dude who'd cover up his numbest wounds
Itch for summer's dawn, another Russian upper
Or a lover I'm a sucker for, I found her but now suffer more
'Cause my thought's playing games and I'm bored, great
There's more stakes to win or lose but winning ain't my forte
It's your race so pace yourself, believe it
It's only you yourself, my dude, who's going to be competing
And ain't it strange that this is home but it ain't homely?
Feeling safe and sound but something's weighed me down so slowly
That's why I'd move away but shame about my homie
I pray the raining days of grey don't faze and leave him lonely
We learn to bear the pain and work at it to wear away
And work at it to wear away and wear a face to bear the pain
Desire of entirety
But then I'm reminded there's more to this intimacy
Can't clear my conscience
Heart far from constant
Desire of entirety
But then I'm reminded there's more to this intimacy
Slow it down, take it easy
Oh, I'm safe and sound
But I think it is getting to me now
Well, I'm breathing deeply
Is this how it is supposed to be?
But to put it bluntly
Barely a break but it's bound to be deadly
So my love, can't you please let me down gently?
It's rough but I'm too sensitive to sightsee
Oh, I'm too sensitive to sightsee
Can't clear my conscience
Heart far from constant
Desire of entirety
But then I'm reminded there's more to this intimacy
