Slow motion
I don’t like to dream
Because I might dream of you
And when I wake
It’s like losing you all over again
The walls come closing in
And the sound becomes so small
Slow motion sets in
And I’m not there anymore
Took a pill to fall asleep
Like giving candy to a baby
Washed it down with my favorite *****
It burns so good
Sleep in till noon
And when I wake
Just lay there thinking of you
They say your mind will betray you
My town is a mile long
Feels like a prison most of the time
There’s a sign that sits at the edge of town
It reads please come back again
And we always do
What were told to do
It gets old real fast
When you outgrow your past
Slow motion shuts off
And it all comes rushing back
And I'm back in the same old routine
Still dreading falling asleep
