lyrics

Tearing up
I'm writing on a soaked piece of paper
All my life
Without a single moment I didn't try to savour
That didn't go by wasted anyway

I'm aware, I know I need a stern conversation
But I just wanna keep it light
For all you care, you'll do anything to avoid confrontation
But maybe I'll get it right this time

I already owe more than I've ever seen
A tiny gear in a great big machine
You're looking at me like there's some place I need to be
You're telling me to go, but I don't feel
Ready
Everybody's so ready

One more day
Explaining away all the debts I have accrued, one more flimsy excuse
It's no use
Running in place in a race I'll never finish, if I don't pick up the pace
Hold me up
Cause I'll lean on you as long as you allow me to
If you ask, I'll say I'm fine
I know you care
But I think that maybe I'm just beyond saving
And it could do me in next time

I already owe more than I've ever seen
A tiny gear in a great big machine
You're looking at me like there's some place I need to be
You're telling me to go, but I don't feel
Ready
Everybody's so ready

Everybody's so ready
Everybody's so ready
