The Tempo (feat. Nicky G)

I will keep the leaves that fall will bring Listen to the birds the tunes they sing They say that you said "they all know now" So when the sun comes up and it all comes up I will be there Standing wet from the rain But you look the same And now I'll keep checking the clock Keeping time in my thesis Telling me you're worth it Did the birds really mean it? Won't let them stand in my way So I'll say that you say they all know There's something wrong with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm a coward I'm speechless So I'll say that you say they all know There's something wrong with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm afraid I don't mean it Watch me mess this mess up more I've been kicking at the locks of every door I'm using every vice as my outlet Can't seem to not seem so selfish Hand me the match and watch me burn Oil spilling out my can at every turn You say that you think they all know Love when they see it I'll say that you say they all know There's something wrong with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm a coward I'm speechless I'll say that you say they all know That someone's messed with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm afraid that I'll mean it It'll be okay But there's some things in this world That words just cannot change So I'll stay the same And hope that one day things will turn out The way they were meant to be Even though we make no difference I know it's enough Prepping for the bomb that will go off Hiding in my car driving all wrong You tell me you think they all know now I will do my best to stay this way While we work through all this pain Just get ready because Because they all know I'll say that you say they all know That something's wrong with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm a coward I'm speechless I'll say that you say they all know That someone's messed with the tempo I know I want them to see it But I'm afraid that I'll mean it
