Some of us will live our lives
Like we are just
Living life on the run.
Some of us will die in our old age;
Others of us will die young.
But sometimes it feels like I am just
Getting so many things wrong.
It feels like I'm walking down my last mile,
And my God, it just feels so long.
Please just
Slow it down.
I'm walking off these years.
Please just
Slow it down.
'Cause I can't stand the tears.
But I would not expect you to understand it,
'Cause things never turned out the way we planned it.
I just hoped that I would know you
And I would never have to walk this world alone.
I would not expect you to ever notice.
You never had the time to be overjoyed with me.
And if you could hear me now, dear,
Then I wouldn't want to lose it all at once.
Some of us will live our lives
Like we are just
Dragging our heels through the night.
Some of us will stay in the darkest holes
And some of us will find the light.
