Jayn - Slow Motion

Slow motion the world just keeps spinning on and on

I just walked down the street to get something to eat
Kicked off my shoes and sprawled out, watching t.v. on the couch
Observing those dumb game shows, we all know how those go
So I don't really bother, I just make up some answer

And then came the headrush, my face all hot and flushed
I put a towel on my head, took pills and curled up in bed
I try to fall asleep quick but thoughts of you make me sick
The fever starts to win, pulls me in and now I'm thinking weird again

In your teens you're so smug, think you've heard it all before
So ashamed in your twenties, you realize there's so much more
Now you finally get it, in your thirties you're alright
On and on it goes and goes, it's the great circle of life

Suddenly it's so hot and I've got to change my pajama top
I gaze at the time, it's almost 12 o'clock.
Looking down it seems we're just a minute in the song
Oh and by the way, when was the day you were born?

Slow motion
From the cradle to the grave, your condition casually drives you insane
Waiting patiently for true love to sweep you right off your feet
Or just for someone to look at you at least

Communication
It's not really all that simple
Audition, try and make a good impression
You're not the only one living life unsatisfied
So try and find some comfort in that for now
I'm sure it'll be alright

Changing the little things to match up with their needs
Going beyond and above so that maybe you'll be loved
The future blurs the past, it all happens so fast
It's really quite disgusting, in the end it means nothing

I cough myself awake and find something to take
Swallow the pill and then sigh, more thoughts invading my mind
This really isn't my day so all I can do is pray
But then a sneeze is blown and I'm thrown, I guess I'm really on my own

Yesterday there was me who pushed all worries to the side
And when times got hard I made it through and didn't even cry
Time's gone by and my smile's faded out into a frown
Guess I'm right on track for being an old lady in this town

Switching out the damp towels gazing up at the clock with a slight scowl
Is it seriously two something right now?
Looking down it seems we're just about two minutes in the song
Oh and hey do you know when you're going to die?

Graduation
Finally you'll get some sweet recognition for all of the hate you kept in
Well that's what I would like to tell you if you asked about it
But I did things that I don't care to admit

Imagination
You're lucky if you still have one
Religion, a bunch of blind preconcieved notions
And in the end even if you try to go out in style, haters gonna hate so try and smile
Cuz that's just the way it is

Just writhing and writhing, I'm really really trying
I'm stuck, out of luck, everything that I once knew is fading

Even though I'm sitting here pondering in self-reflection
Achoo, achoo, this sneezing makes me look pretty dumb
Sniff sniff, sniff sniff, I'm so freaking tired of this [shit]
Still waiting for this stupid flu to pass

Slow motion
Morning comes, my fever falls, this condition melts away with the clear blue skies
Thinking back on everything that I said when I was in bed
It makes me wonder if I'd rather be dead

Slow motion
Even idols can't escape it, in the end they are buried deep in some pit
The beginning and the end of the circle are in sync
It's such a beautiful thing, don't you think?

Combination
You want to meet that special person, the question is how do you know that they're the one?
You're not the only one living life unsatisfied

You're sure to make a lot of mistakes
Used up until all that's left is fake
That's just the way things are, you won't get a break

I'm sure you'll be alright though

Maybe

Slow motion
Slow motion
Slow motion

The world just keeps spinning then you're dead!
