[Verse]
I'm tired of being alone
And watching TV on my side on my phone
Before I drift off into restless sleep
And I'll wake up to emails and texts
And pictures and shit that I haven't seen yet
It's so empty sending reactions
[Chorus]
Wait, is this the part where you tell me
That things will start looking up?
I'll wait, though it's hard
Could you tell me when
Things will start looking up?
[Verse]
I'm tired of being alone
And wandering aimlessly inside my home
Before I realize the day's gone again
And I'll lay down with emails and texts
And pictures and shit I still haven't seen yet
It's not them, it's just the way I am
[Chorus]
Wait, is this the part where you tell me
That things will start looking up?
I'll wait, though it's hard
Could you tell me when
Things will start looking up? -
[Intro]
I've been trying to find the words
And I've been searching for the answers
They haven't come
[Verse]
I won't sleep tonight because this
Worried heart of mine won't let me rest
It's seen its better days
Reminds me that there's moments of pure bliss
Don't let 'em wash away
Don't let those doubts get inside your head
You've seen your better days
But you'll get there again
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been trying to find the words
And I've been searching for the answers
They haven't come
[Verse]
I won't sleep tonight because this
Self-critic of mine won't let me be
Watches my every move
Reminds me that there's always gonna be
Hard days and harder nights
Sometimes it feels that's all there ever is
Just got to get back up and do it all again
[Verse]
So take me to the place where I can
Finally find some peace
Where I can put away these doubts and fears
And learn to love and leave
Somewhere where all these things in front of me
Won't seem so out of place
And everything behind me feels
So very far away
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been trying to find the words
And I've been searching for the answers
They haven't come
So, I'll lay back into my bed
Close my eyes and rest my head
And wait for 'em
[Bridge]
So take me to the place where I can
Finally find some peace
Where I can put away these doubts and fears
And learn to love and leave
Somewhere where all these things in front of me
Won't seem so out of place
And everything behind me feels
So very far away
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been trying to find the words
And I've been searching for the answers
They haven't come
They haven't come -
[Verse]
There's just something between you and me
A magnetic pull, this gravity
And every time you have to leave
I'll be right where you left me
Like a cat with a bird at your feet
[Chorus]
How could I have known
How could we have known
That one day we'd find ourselves
In a world of our own
[Verse]
I figured it out, you and me
This attraction, this chemistry
And when you're ready to come back for more
I'll be right where you left me
Like a dog waiting at your front porch
[Chorus]
How could I have known
How could we have known
That one day we'd find ourselves
In a world of unknowns
If you were to ask
I'd tell you, I'm sure
That one day we'll find ourselves
Together once more -
[Verse]
You tell me not to worry
And you know me so well
Sometimes even better
Than I know myself
And it makes me wonder
How you see me so clear
Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe I'm too near
[Verse]
I know not to hurry
But I want this so bad
I've been so damn happy
But felt so fucking sad
I can't help but wonder
What it is you see
Maybe I'm the blind spot
Of my periphery
[Verse]
You tell me not to worry
So much all the time
You've always been so great
At keeping me in line
Yeah, you've been so patient
And you've been so kind
I only wish that I could
Escape from my own mind
[Verse]
I am my greatest strength
I am my greatest fear
May be a work in progress
But at least I'm here
I don't just want the future
I want you in it, my dear
I promise I'll keep trying
Here's to another year -
[Verse]
Two sides of the same coin
A mirror of the soul
It's like we're the same font
I'm italics, you're in bold
[Chorus]
Just rest your head for a bit
Slow down, my friend
I'll be there until the world caves in
[Verse]
Wandering through the cosmic tapestry
Weaving through oceans across the galaxy
[Chorus]
Just rest your head for a bit
Slow down, my friend
I'll be there
[Bridge]
Slow down my friend
Slow down my friend
Slow down my friend
What's your hurry?
[Outro]
Just rest your head for a bit
Slow down, my friend
I'll be there
Just rest your head for a bit
Slow down, my friend
