You caught me on a long exposure
You saw the carvings on the trees
You caught me looking somewhat older
Are the odds stacked against me?
You found me acting pretty sober
You said "You're looking very well"
One day this evening will be over
Then, it's back into my shell
"Breathe slow, this too shall pass."
And anyone will say the same things
If you'd just ask
Now everybody's in a panic
They said "The cops are on their way!"
They say I'm acting quite erratic
"Could you step over this way?"
I heard the radio to static
He said "You're shaking pretty hard"
He's acting nicer than expected
Now get back into your car
"Breathe slow, this too shall pass."
And anyone will say the same things
If you'd just ask
You caught me on a long exposure
You said "You're looking very well."
I'm still not feeling any closure
Can you tell?
