lyrics

“Faster Than Slow”

I used to carry you home
I used to push your hair back
You used to pretend to like it alone
As your friends shed some light on the subject
We were like a Friends episode
A pair of college brats
We lived in the same apartment complex
Lovesick, two room flats

I made you smile so I should feel half good
I only wanted you to feel worth it.
I hope you know, I always understood
I’d have to let you go
Faster than slow…
So you could change this world.

And I never asked you to commit
I always thought it would scare you away
We used to jump around the subject
And dance in the shades of gray but

We’ve only got about a month left
With you left living in this state
So please avoid your state of mind
Where you push me away.

I made you cry so I could feel half good
I only wanted to feel worth it, too you
I hope you don’t misunderstand those tears
’Cause crying was my way of coping

With you moving out West
Please, don’t distress.
If I feel the need to confess
That I loved you so I let you go faster than slow.

The water’s cold in your hometown
My tears are salty and hot
I’m still cheering you on
Even if I’m hurting a lot

I made you cry so I could feel half good
I only wanted to feel worth it, to you
I hope you and me suddenly agree
Sooner than later we will both see
It was all worth it.
