Where am I going now?
The city moves, but I slow down
I’ve got the job, the place, the name
But still, something feels the same
Everyone says “you’re doing fine”
But they don’t sleep inside my mind
Smiling through the checkout line
Like I’m not dying for a sign
I’ve ticked the boxes, passed the test
But there’s a weight inside my chest
I’m going nowhere fast
Wheels keep turning but they never last
I’m in the crowd but not quite there
Breathing in somebody else’s air
I’ve come so far and still feel stuck
Is it fear or just bad luck?
I’m scared of nothing and scared of more
Of what I had and what I swore
I light a candle, watch it burn
And wonder if I’ll ever learn
I’m going nowhere fast
Dreams I folded in the past
Maybe life’s not meant to map
Just moments that don’t overlap
So if you’re lost like I’ve been too
Maybe slow is getting through
The city moves, but I slow down
I’ve got the job, the place, the name
But still, something feels the same
Everyone says “you’re doing fine”
But they don’t sleep inside my mind
Smiling through the checkout line
Like I’m not dying for a sign
I’ve ticked the boxes, passed the test
But there’s a weight inside my chest
I’m going nowhere fast
Wheels keep turning but they never last
I’m in the crowd but not quite there
Breathing in somebody else’s air
I’ve come so far and still feel stuck
Is it fear or just bad luck?
I’m scared of nothing and scared of more
Of what I had and what I swore
I light a candle, watch it burn
And wonder if I’ll ever learn
I’m going nowhere fast
Dreams I folded in the past
Maybe life’s not meant to map
Just moments that don’t overlap
So if you’re lost like I’ve been too
Maybe slow is getting through
