I'm Slow
Bear Quartet · Early Years [2003]
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
