Notice, how it sounds
Head in the clouds
Dreaming, too comfortable, too casual
What if everything changes when I wake up?
Pretending's contagious, when you make it up
What if everything was real just for once?

Tell a lie for me
Just say you want it, say you need it
Buying time for me
Is second nature, I've been running out
So slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow it down
Somehow, and let me fake it

It's fading in and out
Don't let me down
I'm waiting for you to tell me where to stand
What if everything changes?
Battered and burned
Nothing ends with a maybe, so don't say the word
Keeping every little doubt in the dirt

Tell a lie for me
Just say you want it, say you need it
Buying time for me
Is second nature, I've been running out
So slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow it down
Somehow, and let me fake it

So slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow it down
Somehow, and let me fake it
