Name: A little too slow
Duration: P00H02M41S
Description: This song is about dependence, wanting to grow up and wanting freedom. Also a realization that perhaps I’m taking things too slow and that I often enjoy new experiences even though I fight them at first. I wrote this song after going to a basement show in Oakland (Pittsburgh) and seeing this kid from Canada, Fairy Boy, play there.

lyrics

I'm sick and tired of
waiting out in the cold
After every goddamn bus ride
And I'm getting a little too old
For this shit, but I forget
Growing up at all
In my head I'm still a child
Holding my mom's hand at the mall

For my own good Is what you told me
this was all for As you grabbed me by the wrist
And Pulled me through new doors
And when we got outside You were right
I absolutely loved the warmth

And then you asked me
"If you are not happy then why are you smiling
and why are you laughing"?
"Where are the tears,
Why aren't you crying,
Where are the screams of regretting
The past few years"?

Oh, it's okay, its all fine
I've come to accept the fact
That I've wasted all my time
And I haven't got much to show
For the 18 years
I've Spent coasting through life
Just a little too slow.
