Moving too fast

(Verse 1)

I moved too fast, I broke the speed limit

Fell for the silhouette before I saw the spirit

Now I’m holding on with white-knuckle grip

Scared if I let go, I’ll cease to exist

Two weeks in and I’m planning the years

Trading my healing to silence the fears

I know it’s heavy, I know it’s too soon

But I’m standing in the wreckage, begging for room

(Chorus)

I wanna be the one you call, I wanna be your person

But I see the walls you built, I know you’re hurtin'

I’m trying to walk slow, trying to breathe easy

But my trauma says to run before you leave me

I’m terrified that I’m already attached

Watching the clock while the minutes get latched

I want to be your person, God, I want it bad

But I know you aren’t ready for the love I have

(Verse 2)

It seeps into the coffee, it seeps into the drive

Every silence feels like a reason to cry

I’m waiting for the shoe to drop on the floor

Like I did a hundred times right before

He told me I was nothing, just dust on the shelf

And I spent years trying to pick up myself

Now you look at me and I don’t know what you see

Just a ghost of a girl who used to be free

(Bridge)

I’m sorry I’m so much, I’m sorry I’m so loud

Sorry that my anxiety draws such a heavy crowd

I’m not trying to trap you, I’m not trying to tie

I’m just trying to convince myself I’m not gonna die

If you turn around and decide to walk away

I know that I’ll survive, but I’ll still feel the fray

Of a heart that remembers exactly how to break

And hands that are trembling with every breath they take

(Guitar Solo - Slow and melancholic)

(Chorus)

I wanna be the one you call, I wanna be your person

But I see the walls you built, I know you’re hurtin'

I’m trying to walk slow, trying to breathe easy

But my trauma says to run before you leave me

I’m terrified that I’m already attached

Watching the clock while the minutes get latched

I want to be your person, God, I want it bad

But I know you aren’t ready for the love I have

(Outro)

I’ll take it back, I’ll take it slow

I just don’t want to end up alone

Not again

Not again

Just tell me I’m something

Just tell me I’m... something.
