lyrics

Can we just say it right out loud
Let it go, let it breathe
Just give it a little air
Maybe then, you will see
We’ve been down this road before
Picked the rock from our knees
Misguided we got lost
Tangled up, so naive

No we’ll just take it slow so gently
I think we’re making good time so can we
Stop this mindset
That we were flawed from the start so damaged
Because I’ve seen my share
Of the shattered and broke and you are not helpless
You are not helpless

And this is no place to break down, to give in
And all the pressure you create and the blame, time wasted
I think you see the world with such fear, such sadness
And you know I can relate, day to day I think we’ll manage

Well if I’m wasting my time, just tell me
And I will fall back in line, I’m sorry
But I can’t give up
You’ve embedded yourself in my heart
And it’s just our luck
Because I’ve got too much invested
Too much invested

Accidentally settled down
Set the trap and fell stagnant
And all the dreams you conjured up
In our youth are all now fragments
It’s expected and ok
To feel ashamed, to feel restless
It’s about time we made our move
Use it now to our advantage

We’ll just take it slow, so gently
Can’t waste it this time we have to
Get our feet wet
Wake up clear our throat and rewind
A clean slate, forget
The damage I’ve done it will be worth it
It will be worth it
And we’re far from helpless
We’re far from helpless
