I'm Slow

Bear Quartet · Early Years [2003]

oh no, I'm stuck

in the real world with real people

I won't take it out on no one

there's no use to

and I'm not supposed to



go where I blow

but no

I bet you think I'm slow

but no

I just don't wanna go



could it be, in the backseat of a car

that something breaks and dies

inside your heart

please don't take it out

on everyone

and everything



just go where it blows

and no

I won't think you're slow

I know

you just don't wanna go
