Slowly Songtext
von Jasper Sloan Yip

Well, I know that it′s been said before
But not like this or with these chords
I wish that I was someone else
So I could sit down with myself
And maybe I could help explain
These crazy thoughts I entertain
About my life, oh, and everything
Like how it's really happening right now
When I′m bored, I'm restless, disconnected
Aimlessness has left me breathless
But my life has been redirected
And I'm starting to accept this
So efforts now must be relentless
Because failures leave me so upset with myself
But I swear this is all that I love
You′re going to see exactly what I′m made of tonight, oh-whoa
As for the rest of my life, well, I'll just wait and see
What happens to me from here
So it seems like all of the time


Oh, I′m about to change my mind
I'm so naïve yet resolute
After I′ve decided what to do
I can't wear a tie or one collared shirt
And I can′t get a job and just go to work
Yeah, I'm worried sick like you wouldn't believe
Have you any idea what this means to me?
Well, looking back now makes me laugh
I′m grateful I don′t want the things that I lack
Except for time, oh, goddamn me
When every time becomes such a luxury
See, if I don't do this while I′m young
I'm certain that it won′t get done
So I've made my choice, oh, and it′s alright
I'm ready to really start living my life
So I swear to God that I will quit my job
And drive until my car just stops
I'll walk until I reach the ocean
Maybe I will know what to do by then
