lyrics

And I won’t sit down.
And I won’t sit down.
No I won’t sit down.
And I won’t sit down.

At the point of moribund but everything my head wants is go, go, go.
Even with the hidden costs I spend my energy like I make two million.

If time is love then love is not infinite.
With every minute I work I feel each person slip away.
Something could come from nothing but it doesn’t seem like it.
My fear of failure comes when I look and it’s 12 again. But I won’t slow down.

But I won’t slow down.
No I won’t slow down.
And I won’t slow down.

Made you feel like a mistake.
Gave you the time it takes me to clear my dinner plate.
I may still be inside, but I need my time, will have to leave you behind.

I’m getting boring with this shameless repeating.
I don’t know when to stop, and I’m horrible at leaving.
I want to read a book, forget about booking.
I’d love to walk with you but I’m always moving.
And I wanna sit down.

Inside my dark well with no light hanging overhead.
Down inside is my only devoted friend who will always haunt me.
Don’t become his enemy again.

And I won’t sit down.
No I won’t sit down.
Maybe I wanna sit down.
But I won’t slow down.
