Loosen your tie, unbutton your shirt

Priorities straight

First things first

Relaxing as your eyes close, your hands upon the wheel

The whole of the day is stuck in your brain

Stare straight ahead as the rain comes sliding down the windshield

Tears are sliding down your face

But, I just tell myself, I have to go on living

I have to keep on breathing, even if it kills me

And in time, my words ring true: Babe, you know I love you, but I've nothing to give you, and I am no good for you

Gas station signs and white dotted lines shining at night

Lonely is mine

I'm speeding on the way home

What am I rushing to? Is it glowing TVs? Or indie movies? I'll try anything to keep me busy

I'm so afraid to let go, but I'm scared of holding on

Still, I just tell myself (as I go on living, as I keep on breathing) that this will one day kill me

But, in time your words ring true: Son, you know I love you. I've always been there for you

What more could I have for you? So, slow your heart down, and close your eyes, now

Let go of your thoughts, now, and slow your words down

So I just tell myself, I need to go on living

I need to keep on breathing

I need to let this kill me
