Different pace

Intro (slow hum)
Mmmmm… mmm…
Yeah…

Verse 1
My head wakes up before the sun,
Thoughts already racin’, one by one,
You move steady, you take your time,
I’m already past the finish line.

Keys gone missin’, phone on mute,
Still know exactly what I’m gonna do,
You say “focus”, I say “I am”,
Just not the way you planned.

Hum break
Mmmmm… mmm…

Chorus (slow, heavy)
I’m movin’ at a different pace,
Same road, just a wider space,
You see chaos, I see my way,
I don’t rush — I drift and sway.
Yeah I’m movin’ at a different pace,
Still get there… just my way.

Verse 2
You think I’m gone when I look away,
But I hear every word you say,
If I don’t speak, the thought might fade,
So I cut in — not to be rude, just afraid.

Time don’t tick the same for me,
Minutes bend, they don’t agree,
Late or early, hard to say,
But my heart’s always in the play.

Hum break (longer)
Mmmmmmm… mmm…
Mmmmm…

Chorus
I’m movin’ at a different pace,
Not behind, not outta place,
I lose my things, I lose my track,
But I always find my way back.
Yeah I’m movin’ at a different pace,
Still breathin’, still in the race.

Bridge (spoken, gentle)
I tried to slow it down…
Didn’t feel like me.
Turns out peace
Is lettin’ myself be.

Final Chorus (soft, reassuring)
I’m movin’ at a different pace,
Not broken, just re-spaced,
If you don’t get it, that’s okay,
I finally do — and that’s enough today.
Mmmmm… mmm…
Different pace.

Outro (hum only)
Mmmmm… mmm…
Yeah…
