Intro When I look at you it’s not hard to find a reason why I’m losing my mind I learned ignorance is bliss when I was betrayed by a kiss Now I’ve got a big fat lump in my throat and I’m trying my hardest not to choke And I can’t find the air to breathe and I wonder if you were make believe Oh Oh Oh Oh I think I just might need a shrink or maybe I’ll pour myself a drink And add it to the list of plans that I’ll never be more than who I am Oh Oh Oh Oh Instrumental I find myself standing at the door of your place where we made love on the floor And I don’t know how I got here or why, trees toss the sky, I break inside The living room looks exactly the same, my head is spinning and I keep repeating her name Surrounded here by all your things, I’m wondering who is pulling my strings? Oh Oh Oh Oh outro

I’m movin in slow motion And I feel like I don’t have any control So what’s the point What does it matter If I stay home and cry or if I go? Not gotta wait until I can raise hell Or the stars realign Slow motion is not a friend of mine You gotta understand I given it all I can No difference between here and there My man’s real He makes me feel He fixes my itches everwhere But it don’t always cure the days When I’m In slow motion fighting the grind Blue Blue Blue I don’t have time for this There’s a whole world to miss Don’t put up with bullshit anymore So raise a glass Let time pass What else are we all living for? I might as well enjoy myself Here’s to feelin fine Slow motion is not a friend of mine Blue Blue Blue

So we sailed when the sun and the wind had just begun To rise far away from the shore, it carried us away From the troubles of today Like kings and queens from a great war Lalalalala lalalalala Hold your breath when the ground beneath you burns Cut and run to never return, never return Lalalalala lalalalala Don’t cry out for life to be more kind Count to ten, then, leave that shit behind, leave it behind Lalalalala lalalalala

I feel like gasoline is running through my veins I feel like gasoline is running through my veins I'll tell you all about it after I go insane Life is moving so fast that I feel like I'm in a race car Life is moving so fast that I feel like I'm in a race car And the only time I'm happy is when I'm singing or playing guitar Na Na Na I feel like gasoline is running through my veins I feel like gasoline is running through my veins I'll tell you all about it after I go insane I'll tell you all about it after I go insane ooooo
