And I I'm drowning in my mind I'm drowning deep inside every thought that I'm thinking And each sensation that I'm feeling And time Time isn't on my side With every tock I feel a tick of panic brewing Adrenaline is slowly building If I dig a little deeper Could I be a sleeper Could I be a little better If I hid under the covers Would I be discovered Would I be a bit recovered So run Run quickly as you can Run far away until you've lost your breath once again To realize a new beginning So swim Swim into the wind Swim out to the horizon where you can pretend That everything's as you imagined If I dig a little deeper Could I be a sleeper Could I be a little better If I hid under the covers Would I be discovered Would I be a bit recovered Watch me shoot across the sky Into the distance as I dive tonight Let me fall into my pride As my heart, my soul, and my mind divide If I dig a little deeper Could I be a sleeper Could I be a little better If I hid under the covers Would I be discovered Would I be a bit recovered

Just For Once 03:58

I hear a commotion Rolling in slow motion Building up emotions I found a connection A general direction And too much distraction I got a question on my mind Who even decides who gets left behind Who controls when we hit rewind Just grab my hand I won't pretend And be your friend Until the end Before the night is over I'd like to be sober Just for once I'm getting high off this feeling And now I'm freewheeling Just for once It's got me going It's got me thinking Before I'm back on the ground I don't want to be found Just for once So light up the dance floor Ain't that what you're here for So quit being a bore As everything slows down As I'm starting to drown Beneath all of the sounds Before I'm feeling older I'd like to be bolder Just for once I'm getting down with the groove here So why don't we move, dear Just for once It's got me going It's got me thinking Before it's time to go home Don't want to be alone Just for once I got a question in my head How do we even get ahead Why do we even get out of bed Before the night is over I'd like to be sober Just for once I'm getting high off this feeling And now I'm freewheeling Just for once It's got me going It's got me thinking Before I'm back on the ground I don't want to be found Just for once

Breathe 03:30
lyrics

Take a breath Pause for now Listen in Hold the world In your hands Until it slips And there's nothing you could do to stop it Nothing you could to do to rewind Nothing left to see or say Just try to put it all behind There's every reason to wait and sit Everyone's patiently waiting Every time you save the day And leave it barely functioning Don’t you get tired? Don't you want to stop Take a rest Take a bow Take a swim Once you're curled In the sands Get a grip And there's something to be said about it Something you could do to move on Something in everyone's eyes Just trying to push for a new dawn There's no place like the lands you visit No where makes you feel quite as great No one holds you to the prize So why do you disintegrate Don’t you get tired? Don't you want to stop And just breathe Let it go until you can retreat And release Let it fade until you've got space between Don’t you get tired? Don't you want to stop And just breathe

So just drift along the wind So just sink into the sand Wherever the road leads Just go until the end Tracing along every sign Marking each one in your mind For each memory That you will leave behind You'll have to take The reins someday You'll have to face The rain someway The finality of it all May seem so daunting now and then But in the end You'll be okay So just throw it all away So just forget anyway In due time everything Fades into the fray Taking every single curve Swinging along every swerve What's a life without adventure Without verve You'll have to take The reins someday You'll have to face The rain someway The finality of it all May seem so daunting now and then But in the end You'll be okay For all your time and all your worth For every choice towards your north You got to know You got to go You'll have to take The reins someday You'll have to face The rain someway The banality of it all May seem so soothing now and then But in the end You'll find a way The finality of it all May seem so daunting now and then But in the end You'll be okay
