๐ Lyrics
They always told me that my mind's empty inside
That lightbulb above my head has never shined too bright
But it's not my fault
There's no way to hit pause
This deep blue globe is spinning way too fast to hold all my thoughts
I never was the type to get it right first try
Nor I an early bird, my longing keeps me up at night
And so I'll write
My heart's invite, sealed tight
Wait for the sunrise, maybe this time I can see new sights
No, I won't hide in my shell alone
I'm already too far from home
I'll do my best to follow through
So my love reaches you!
So run
If slower is better than none
I'll be the one to dive and take the plunge
A snail's pace won't win marathons
Gold medals pale compared against your love
Do you ever think about the way the sky is blue?
Or remember sharing those old shoes that only you outgrew?
I just took too long
Your headstart was too strong
I hope this letter finds you well before I drown in a pond
No, I won't hide in my shell alone
This mollusk is too far from home
I'll do my best to follow through
So please correspond soon!
So run
If slower is better than none
I'll be the one to dive and take the plunge
A snail's pace won't win marathons
Gold medals pale compared against your love
My heartbeat shipped straight to your door
Don't watch the clock, no worth in keeping score
Dear Sally sold her shells by the shore
For whom she adored
Am I not enough?
Not immortal, nor a slug
Maybe it's obvious?
Maybe I'm best escargot
Fuck, I've had it rough
But I can't give up
Wipe the tears off
Pick your feet up
And run
If slower is better than none
I'll jump the hurdles, go and take a lunge
A snail's pace won't win marathons
Gold medals pale compared against your love

Nor I an early bird, my longing keeps me up at night
And so I'll write
