Even a vow that breaks
Is a metaphor, nothing's for sure
Even a tooth that cracks
Can bite your back

Even a heart that's pure
Is an invitation ripe for breaking
Even the ones who know
Don't know for sure

But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet
Have left the ground?
And I'm the world below
You better slow down

Every time you speak
I hear the sound
But your lips are steel

Even a bond that breaks
Is a talent tale
A heart can grow stale

Even an atheist will swear to God
And all of this talk of love
You can say "Forever" like "Whatever"
Even the ones you love
Don't have to love you back

But you better slow down
Can't you see your feet
Have left the ground?
I'm the world below
You better slow down

Every time you speak
I hear the sound
But your lips are steel

Take all my hope for you
Send it off alone
Yeah, make it take
The night bus home
Making it share a seat
A seat alone

But the drunks in the bars
An old woman keeping score
Of the time she felt defeated
Will the crowd please remain seated?
I let you go

You better slow down
Can't you see your feet
Have left the ground?
And I'm the world below
You better slow down

Every time you speak
There is no sound
And it's deafening

You better slow down
Can't you see your feet
Don't touch the ground?
And there is a world below
You better slow down

And every time you speak
There is no sound
It's killing me and it's killing me

'Cause it's deafening
There's a world below
And it's out of reach

And it's much too far
When I hear you speak
Out of reach and it deafens me

'Cause it's deafening
Yeah, it's deafening
And it's deafening
Yeah, it's deafening
