Slower

It's been so long since i've been by myself

And i need this more than you will ever know

People like you and me never felt the breeze

People like you and me will never know the easy way

I scream into the wind and laugh

As the words slap me in the face

I would gladly trade a lifetime of convenience

For and honest day or two

It's just not the same when you're staring

Into a perfect golden sunset

And thinking about how you sold your soul

To send the rain away

It's been so long since i've stood on my two feet

I'd really rather lay here and pretend

But people like you and me never get that peace

It comes from denying that everything is so screwed up

It's so screwed up

I stand on a building and throw up my arms to the sky

I swallow my pride and admit

That it's not always best to understand the reason why

It's just not the same when you wake up in the morning

With a smile on your face

When you know you lied yourself to sleep to make it better

To make it better
