I remember you asleep in your room
on a makeshift bed and your clothes were thrown
Across the floor and hanging on the door
Was your favourite dress
And I tossed and I turned and I get no rest
And I remember something I thought I forgot
Feeling withdrawn and a little bit lost
In the middle of the day when we woke up
We would sit and watch the weeds
Growing through the broken glass
While out on the street the cars go by so fast
It goes so slow
That nothing here can hold you down
Your surrounds just bring you down
My sense of touch
Words could never mean that much
My heart beats like a cheap watch
Running fast and running slow
Speeding through the dark
While out on the street the cars go by so fast
It goes so slow
That nothing here can hold you down
Your surrounds just bring you down
It goes so slow
That nothing here can hold you down
Your surrounds just bring you down
It goes so slow
Just to bring you down
It goes so slow
Just to bring you down
It goes so slow
Just to bring you down
