Jumping At The Shadows

Patience; the timing’s never right

But something in this world could make it all alright

Steady is the grind to grace the city lights

Bring me to my feet again baby, make it alright

But someone pays the fine for this crime

I’ve been sippin’ it too fast and I’m gettin’ a brain-freeze

Been sippin’ it too slow and it melts away

I’ve been livin’ in the past but I’m getting to safety

Loving loving, only gets in the way

And when the fountain of youth runs dry

Will I grit my teeth and salvage my pride?

Give up? Or fall down?

No, I’ll never let me be the one pushin’ me around

And when I’m feelin’ like I’m under the weather

Gotta remember how to pull myself together

And I’ll never give up or fall down to the ground

No I won’t burn out

I see the way they’re lookin at me now

I feel it in the air they wanna cut me down

But refusing to fail means rising above some how

And someone pays the fine for this crime

Yeah, the fine

I’ve been sippin’ it too fast and I’m gettin’ a brain-freeze

Been sippin’ it too slow and it melts away

I’ve been livin’ in the past but I’m getting to safety

Loving loving, only gets in the way

Oooh you wanna give it away
