Even a vow that breaks
Is a metaphor, Now that's for sure
Even a tooth that cracks can bite your back
Even a heart that's pure
Is an invitation right for breaking
Even the ones who know don't know for sure
But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet have left the ground?
And I'm the world below
You better slow down
Every time you speak, I hear the sound
But your lips are still
Even a bond that breaks
Is a telling tale the heart can grow stale
Even an atheist will swear to God
And all of this talk of love
You can say forever, like whatever
Even the ones you like don't have to love you back
But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet have left the ground?
I'm the world below
You better slow down
Every time you speak, I hear the sound
But your lips are still
Take all my hope for you
Set it off alone
Yeah, make it take the night bus home
Make it and share a seat
A seat alone
But the drunks in the bars
The old woman keeping score of the time she felt defeated
Will the crowd please remain seated?
I let you go
But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet have left the ground?
I'm the world below
You better slow down
Every time you speak, there is no sound
And it's deafening
But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet have left the ground
And there is a world below
You better slow down
Every time you speak, there is no sound
It's killing me
And it's killing me
'Cos it's deafening
There's a world below
And it's hard to breathe
And it's much too fa
And I hear you speak
Out of reach
It's deafening
And it's deafening
