There are faces, there are smiles
So many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
I'm watching, I'm breathing, I'm pushing, I'm wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly
I have burnt down once before, I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes it's just too much
Or it's just not enough with something else
It's so much bigger than my head, it's too demanding
Sometimes, the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on, you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
I have met so many people, we've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing but it's changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
But all together, were they merely passing strangers?
They'll control you with their silence
They'll control you with their words
And you'll control them with your body's coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into each other's hidden pitfalls
Sometimes, the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on, you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
Sometimes, the fastest way to get there is to go slow
Yeah, and sometimes if you wanna hold on, you have to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
