lyrics

Burdened by my sense of wonder how do I explain these things
I could try but I'll just show you, downtown lights with backroad dreams

Got a curiosity that kills me every other day
Made a pass at you last month just crossed my mind hope you're ok

These words I mean and mean to tell you,
Never got around to that
One day I'll tell you the song,
That brings me back to when,
We met...

On my way to irresponsible parties
Vision fizzles it all starts to get choppy
Did you know that I have my own heartbeat, in a box, ball and chained up
With a key dangling on baited breath

Now I'm staring in a mirror taking all my creases in
Starting to love all my cracks and thinking about letting you in

These words I mean and mean to tell you,
Never got around to that
One day I'll tell you the song,
That brings me back to when,
We met...

On my way to irresponsible parties
Vision fizzles it all starts to get choppy
Did you know that I have my own heartbeat, in a box, ball and chained up
With a key dangling on baited breath

You see me, see you, see it all, see your truth
You don't want to waste time, just be you, you'll be fine X2

God I wish someone would just stop me (stop me)
From keeping this love I feel halted
Far past due this month to have lost it,
But here you are in the flesh and I can't help but feel anew
Give me time its within my skills maybe
God since childhood I always was crazy, Oh
But the best minds are those that go chasing
All the views, that people choose to pass by, girl we see it all

All, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hoh, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh
