And all of my time was wasted In filling a void between now and then I felt fatigue and complacent Tell me something sweet Lull me back to sleep Cause the place I thought I was No longer is
Please just slow down (slow down) Let me catch my breath (slow down) I swear I never meant to move this way I'm turning around And around and around to fall Never meant to fall behind
All these woeful wanderings Just take it from the screen Tethered to my father bleeding The skin that's under foot That's under my steps All this nervous music Is moving me along Keep me chasing my tail Around and around This Merry-Go-Round ???? ???? ???? The blankets of this world Can't keep me warm
Please just slow down Let me catch my breath I swear I never meant to move this way I'm turning around And around I never meant to fall Never meant to fall behind
Sing me something sweet Lull me back to sleep
In my mother's eyes
Sing me something sweet Lull me back to sleep
I can't slow down We spin around in circles Say something soft Say something sweet
My world falls apart around me
Lull me back to sleep
Please just slow down Let me catch my breath I swear I never meant to move this way I'm turning around And around I never meant to fall Never meant to fall behind
