Jumping At The Shadows

Patience; the timing’s never right
But something in this world could make it all alright

Steady is the grind to grace the city lights
Bring me to my feet again baby, make it alright
But someone pays the fine for this crime

I’ve been sippin’ it too fast and I’m gettin’ a brain-freeze
Been sippin’ it too slow and it melts away
I’ve been livin’ in the past but I’m getting to safety
Loving loving, only gets in the way

And when the fountain of youth runs dry
Will I grit my teeth and salvage my pride?
Give up? Or fall down?
No, I’ll never let me be the one pushin’ me around
And when I’m feelin’ like I’m under the weather
Gotta remember how to pull myself together
And I’ll never give up or fall down to the ground
No I won’t burn out
I see the way they’re lookin at me now
I feel it in the air they wanna cut me down
But refusing to fail means rising above some how
And someone pays the fine for this crime
Yeah, the fine

I’ve been sippin’ it too fast and I’m gettin’ a brain-freeze
Been sippin’ it too slow and it melts away
I’ve been livin’ in the past but I’m getting to safety
Loving loving, only gets in the way

Oooh you wanna give it away
