Brakes

Album: Falling Over Our Fear [2011]
Author: Michael Denham - Clara Alice Patrick © Elefant Publishing

Medicate the ups and downs from see-saw heights to solid ground
It's the same shade of grey as the one in your hallway
Oh you had charmed me, as humble as a bumble bee

There's no time to ruminate the when's the ifs
The when's the ifs the who's and how's
Nothing left to contemplate
It's time, it's time, it's time to put the brakes on now

You love the girl you crossed paths with once before,
The cross around her neck means nothing anymore
Innocence burnt away by the fever of your youth
Lets try, lets try, lets try to call a truce

There's no time to ruminate the when's the ifs
The when's the ifs the who's and how's
Nothing left to contemplate
It's time, it's time, it's time to put the brakes on now
