Lyrics
Well, you're drownin' your mind in your casket
And I'm worried that you might be stuck in your youth
Still, you wait for the man in the bathroom
So you can wash off your hands, clean the blood off your boots
So you can wash off your hands, clean the blood off your boots
When you came home from a long night of drinkin' (ooh)
You drove the car straight into the ditch (ooh)
Oh, but I pray that you find somethin' that lights your fire (ooh)
And you chase it 'til your legs give out, oh (oh)
Yeah, 'cause there's more to this life than forgettin' last night (oh)
And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh, darlin'
I, I know that you've grown
But I don't know
If I'll have you around
So please slow down
Now the candles you lit that just keep burnin' out
So your tears smear the page before you could rephrase it
And you were writin' to a loved one or maybe yourself
Sayin', "I hate my life, I don't think I'ma make it"
Well, you've lost a few friends along the way (ooh)
Based off the way that your emotions are portrayed
When you're wasted, I don't blame you
Oh, but I understand that your
Heart was ripped out (ooh) of your chest
And thrown right in the sand (oh)
And it's easy just to drink away the pain (ooh), mm
Now it's time to let 'em go, so you can fly with the wind (ooh)
Now you're wastin' your years lookin' for someone (ooh)
Who really loves you, who really needs you, girl (ooh)
And though I swear that they're out there, you need to realize (ooh)
That nobody can love you 'til you love yourself (oh)
So put all your worries on a shelf and just run for the hills (oh)
And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh, darlin'
I, I know that you've grown
But I don't know
If I'll have you around
So please slow down
Whoo-hoo-ooh-ooh
Slow down
And after all the time I've spent alone
And after all the years that pass by, oh, darlin'
I, I know that you've grown
I don't know if I'll have you around
So please slow down
