I could feel you heartbeat
On an late afternoon
I guess that it reminded me
You were living too
I feel tired
But I’ll wait up for you
I feel inspired
By everything that you do
Blood racer get me flowing
Leave your heart like it’s a totem
Don’t leave me wading through your
Perfect mind
I’ve been treading water
Ever since the world was new
But I’ve got a homemade remedy
For the poison leaves that they brew
I feel tired
But I’ll wait up for you
I feel inspired
By everything that you do
Blood racer get me flowing
Leave your heart like it’s a totem
Don’t leave me wading through your
Perfect mind
Blood racer get me flowing
Leave your heart like it’s a totem
Don’t leave me wading through your
Perfect mind

Your words are like molasses
I can tell they don’t wanna come out
But you need to tell me
If there is something wrong
I readjust my glasses
To fill the empty space
My hands don’t know what to do
So I’ll touch your face and hope that they comfort you
I wish you were feeling better
About your life and your health
‘Cause your life is my life
And I just wanna help
We’re living on short notice
Our lives can change with a call
But you need to know this
I’ll be here through it all
I flow endlessly into your arms
I float aimlessly into the storm
I need to find a way to calm you down
You speak but you don’t really make a sound
Please pick up your head or you might drown
And I know that you don’t want to be like this
I wish that I could solve it with a kiss
But you’ve been drowning in molasses
“There’s no shame in sad songs”
Is something I tell myself
And maybe I will be convinced
If I sing it out loud
I reread the note you left me
I forget what I wrote in yours
But I know it was true and I couldn’t mean it more
I flow endlessly into your arms
I float aimlessly into the storm
I need to find a way to calm you down
You speak but you don’t really make a sound
Please pick up your head or you might drown
And I know that you don’t want to be like this
I wish that I could solve it with a kiss
But you’ve been drowning in molasses

I lost friends but I guess that’ll happen over time
Some fought, some drifted idly by
One had fun, but flew too close to the sun
Another closed himself off and found God
Then there was you
I never asked you to change
That wouldn’t be fair
But you wanted to keep hurting me
And that wouldn’t be fair
I put trust in all the wrong places
Now I’m stuck seeing you in strangers’ faces
It’s easier to blow the candle out
Than it is to let it burn
I don’t blame you for what you did
The trauma’s hard to unlearn
But I never asked you to change
That wouldn’t be fair
But you didn’t give a damn about me
And that wasn’t fair
But I
I never asked you to change
That wouldn’t be fair
But you wanted to keep hurting me
And that wouldn’t be fair
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay

Every light casts a shadow
Unless the light burns out
I know you question my feelings
And we can’t help but have doubts
I wanna hold you
I want to try
I wanna say I love you
But I don’t wanna lie
Thank the earth for you vessel
Though your course has been set
I wanna make you feel better
Reinforce things that I’ve said
I wanna hold you
I want to try
I wanna say I love you
But I don’t wanna lie
I hate that you value yourself on loving me
Know that you’re perfect on your own
I don’t want you ever to feel hurt because of me
I want you to know
I hate that you value yourself on loving me
Know that you’re perfect on your own
I don’t want you ever to feel hurt because of me
I want you to know
I love you

I hide and I seek
The pictures in my dreams
I throw days away
Holding onto sacred yesterday’s
I lie awake at night
Wishing on a star to find paradise
But it doesn’t work that way
I’m no longer gonna throw it away
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
Hold me, but hold back
You’re on the right train but the wrong track
You’re moving, I know that
But you’ll never get your old life back
It’s okay, it’s okay
Goddamn it, I swear that it’s ok
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s okay, it’s okay
