Doesn't have to be perfect
To be worth it
But I forget
Every time I try
I could do it again a thousand times
And I still wouldn't feel like it's right
But it's mine
My pulse in every line
Yeah, it's mine
The shadow and the shine
Make it mine
The feelings that are too hard too hard to define
I pour them out and serve them up like wine
And every sip tastes more and more divine
It may not be perfect but it's mine

I melt at room temperature
Oh, when I look into your eyes
I wish that I could play it cool but
I get flustered every time
Time, it moves so slowly when we're not together
And late at night I get a thrill wondering if you might ever know
I wonder, do my feelings show?
I melt at room temperature
Oh, when I look into your eyes
I wish that I could play it cool but
I get flustered every time
Time for me to tell you how I feel about you
And late at night I'm making plans that in the day I don't do
Oh, I'm a coward don't you know?
I melt at room temperature
Oh, when I look into your eyes
I wish that I could play it cool but
I get flustered every time
I melt every single time
I melt every single time
I melt every single time
Oh, I melt at room temperature
Oh, watch me start to liquify
Every day of wanting you
Is making me just lose my mind
And if I had the courage
I would tell you
That my heart's on fire for you
Do you feel the same way too?
I'm praying now that you do
I melt at room temperature
Oh, when I look into your eyes
I wish that I could play it cool but
I get flustered every time

Slow Down

I don't have enough time in the day
No way
So if you want me, you'll have to wait
Okay?
'Cause the weight of it all's overwhelming
And this pressure from you isn't helping
And you know all that stress is unhealthy, baby
Slow it down
I might need you to slow it down, baby
Look around
Take some time and just look around
I'm not going anywhere
Don't be scared
Just drink in that summer air
It's right there
'Cause the weight of it all's overwhelming
And this pressure you feel isn't helping
And you know all that stress is unhealthy, baby
You know, taking your time is a freedom
No, there's no need to rush every season
Just relax you don't need a good reason, baby
Slow it down
I might need you to slow it down, baby
Look around
Take some time and just look around
I could try to keep up, oh but honey I must decline
Because doing it all still won't give me my peace of mind
Every day waking up to that same old rise and grind for who?
Slow it down
I might need you to slow it down, baby
Look around
Take some time and just look around
Slow it down
I might need you to slow it down

Anymore it’s like I’m living in a nightmare and I can’t seem to escape
Every morning, make my coffee and the same thing the next day
I don’t get dressed until the day is almost gone
I don’t know how you just expect me to move on
Give me one good reason why
You'd rather believe a lie
While I’m 300 feet above the ground
Watching it all play out
But is it worth it now?
Every day I read about another nightmare that could’ve been prevented
There’s no way it’s getting better when I know that you’ve all just pretended
I know you want things to go back to how they were
As time goes on the thought of that gets more and more absurd
Give me one good reason why
You'd rather believe a lie
While I’m 300 feet above the ground
Watching it all play out
But is it worth it now?
'Cause lately you’ve been acting really strange
Like nothing that you’re doing needs to change
And I can’t help but wonder why I have to
Spend my years up in the sky
There's nothing I can do but cry in rage
Just give me one good reason why
You'd rather believe a lie
While I’m 300 feet above the ground
Watching it all play out
But is it worth it now?

I was nervous
Opening your green garden gate
But your kiss was
Sweet like cinnamon cake
I can’t forget
How your teeth were chattering by the lake
There are nights when
I watch it back on replay
But something’s weighing me down
And it’s not you but I can’t do anything but wait it out now
I don’t want to ruin the moment
I guess I’m afraid to just put it all out in the open
I don’t know where this will go
I just know I wanna know you
I want you to know I wanna know you
And I look forward to
The times I can see your face
It’s just that bad news
Seems to keep blowing our way
And you’re flickering in and out
And I put my hands around you to save the flame
And I know life’s burning you down
But if you want me then why do I feel you pulling away?
I don’t know where this will go
I just know I wanna know you
I want you to know I wanna know you
And I knew I that I tried
As we watched the water crash into that pink lavender sky
But you told me
That you were carrying way too much to hold me
I don’t know where I’m going
Babe, there’s just no way of knowing
The daylight behind us still seems golden
But I’ll keep going on my own again
